ABSTRACT:
A method for fabricating and installing a split riding ring for use on rotary cylinders that eliminates the need to remove associated equipment from the rotary cylinders to repair and install a new riding ring. The apparatus consists of a riding ring forged in one piece and machined and stress relieved. Both sides of the annular ring are then provided with opposing side pockets. Side plates are positioned within the side pockets and held in place by a first set of bolts located within drill and tapped holes. Holes are drilled through the side pockets, side plates and the riding ring. The side plates are removed and the one piece ring is cut at a forty five degree angle with its central axis of rotation to form a first and second segment and shims are attached to both segments to compensate for the metal loss. A second set of bolts are inserted through the holes in the side pockets and the side plates to form a body bound fit and the completed split ring assembly.
