Abstract

A rolling stand includes at least one roller having a roller journal which is rotatably supported by an eccentric bushing which in turn is rotatably supported by a low-friction bearing unit. An adjusting mechanism exerts an adjusting force on the eccentric bushing for rotating the eccentric bushing with respect to the housing and maintaining the eccentric bushing in a desired position. In order to determine a rolling force in the rolling stand, the eccentric bushing is rotated to a desired position relative to the housing by the adjusting mechanism, and an effective adjusting force in the adjusting mechanism is measured when the eccentric bushing is held in the desired position. The rolling force can then be ascertained on the basis of the measured adjusting force.
