Abstract

The invention relates to a measuring device, a roll stand and a method for detecting the height of a roll gap between two working rolls in the roll stand. In order to ensure a high level of measurement accuracy of the roll gap transmitter even in the case of horizontal displacement of the working rolls in or against the rolling direction it is proposed in accordance with the invention to carry out adjusting the movement of the roll gap transmitter (110) with respect to the working rolls in the case of a displacement in or against the rolling direction so that even in a new or displaced end position of the working rolls a suitable relative position, which is required for a high level of measurement accuracy, between roll gap transmitter and the working rolls is guaranteed.
