ABSTRACT:
In a beam-backed cluster-type strip mill each roll is driven separately from a vertical motor placed on top of the housing through a floating right-angle gearbox. The gearbox is keyed onto one end of each roll and is so suspended that only pure torque is transmitted to the roll and the reactions as well as the weight of the box are absorbed by the suspension means.
Roll oscillating mechanism, forcing the rolls to travel axially back and forth far enough to efface marks left by the backing casters, is incorporated in the gearbox.
This drive possesses substantial advantages over conventional drives, which make the mill more accessible, and save space. Moreover it makes possible various roll configurations by adding supplementary rolls to the cluster pattern thereby increasing the range and scope of the mill.
