Abstract
Abstract A flexure-compensating roll for a rolling mill having a rotatable roll shell partly of cylindrical shape disposed about a non-rotating beam with hydraulically actuated pistons received in the beam for support of the shell along the line of contact with a mating roll includes inboard bearings for support of the roll shell from stationary piers and outboard bearings for support of the beam from the shell, the inner race of the outboard bearings being fixed to the shell and the outer race thereof being fixed to the beam via plates or spiders, a further spider coupling to the shell for the application of torque thereto.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
A controlled deflection roll comprising a beam, an annular roll shell engaged over the beam, two first bearings disposed at spaced locations lengthwise of the shell for support of the shell, two second bearings supporting the beam from the shell, said second bearings being each on the side of a separate one of said first bearings remote from the other of said first bearings, said second bearings including inner and outer annular elements of which the inner element is affixed to the shell and the outer element is affixed to the beam, and at least one hydraulically actuated support element disposed between the beam and shell at a position lengthwise of the shell between said first bearings.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
117 words
A controlled deflection roll comprising a beam, an annular roll shell engaged over the beam, two first bearings disposed at spaced locations lengthwise of the shell for support of the shell, two second bearings supporting the beam from the shell, said second bearings being each on the side of a separate one of said first bearings remote from the other of said first bearings, said second bearings including inner and outer annular elements of which the inner element is affixed to the shell and the outer element is affixed to the beam, and at least one hydraulically actuated support element disposed between the beam and shell at a position lengthwise of the shell between said first bearings.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
A controlled deflection roll according to claim 1 including a plurality of hydraulically actuated pistons disposed in radial cylindrical cavities in the beam for exertion of stress against the inner surface of the shell.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
A controlled deflection roll according to claim 1 wherein said bearings are roller bearings.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A controlled deflection roll according to claim 1 including at each end of the beam an annular member engaged between the beam and the outer element of one of said second bearings.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
A controlled deflection roll according to claim 4 including a further member affixed to the shell, said member including a shaft coaxial with the shell.
