ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to arrangements for supporting rotary drums such as tube mills and rotary kilns of the type which rotate about a horizontal or slightly inclined axis and are provided with at least one running surface on the circumferential surface thereof and corresponding with one or more supporting means for supporting the drum on a foundation. The supporting means is mounted on the foundation and an endless member is positioned on the supporting means with the running surface of the drum in contacting relation with the endless member such that part of the weight of the drum is thereby transmitted to the supporting means. The endless member follows an endless path substantially perpendicular to the axis of the drum while moving in running contact with the corresponding running surface of the drum during rotation thereof. The running surface may be a belt-like, machined surface of the drum proper, but it is preferably a special, machined live ring encircling the drum.
