Split Cylindrical Roller Bearings For Rolling Mill Drive Shafts

The work rolls of large four-high rolling stands are driven via universal joint drive shafts. After every rolling cycle the height of the rolls is adjusted. The drive shafts must follow the adjusting movement. Therefore they have universal joints. Due to the height adjustment, the shaft length varies as well, which has to be compensated in a coupling sleeve. The universal joint shafts are generally very long to ensure that the deflection angles do not become too large. Because of the high torques which have to be transmitted they are strong and heavy.
