ABSTRACT:
A taper journal bearing for rolls for use in rolling mills including a keying arrangement for keying the roll neck sleeve to the roll neck. The bearing includes a bushing housed in a roll bearing chock, a sleeve closely fitted onto a tapered journal or roll neck of the roll, an oil film deposited between the bushing and the sleeve, and a key arrangement for fixing the sleeve to the roll wherein a flat is machined on the outer end of the taper on the surface of the taper journal of the roll in parallel to the taper with this flat underlying one end of the sleeve at the outer end of the load zone of the roll neck. A keyway is provided in one end of the sleeve such that it is open to and in registration with the flat machined on the roll neck taper. A key is slidably received in the keyway and has a tapered flat surface in sliding engagement with the flat on the roll taper to create a wedging action against the flat when the key is urged into the keyway. This substantially reduces the undercut section of the sleeve and the roll in the roll neck load zone and eliminates any voids and clearances in the keyway thereby eliminating the increased variations in the reduction force taking place at each rotation of the roll due to deformation of the sleeve.
