A system and method for removing flatness faults from a metal flat product, in particular a metal sheet or a strip, having multiple straightening rollers arranged on opposite sides of the flat product. In order to simplify and to enable more cost-efficient removal of flatness faults from a metal flat product, at least two cooperating straightening rollers arranged on opposite sides of the flat product each have at least three individually-adjustable partial rollers arranged axially adjacent to one another.

System and method for removing flatness faults from a metal flat product

A support roller, particularly for rolling mill systems or equipment for casting, conveying or straightening metal products, including a cylindrical roller axle, a hollow cylindrical outer ring arranged concentrically in relation to the roller axle, and a plurality of rolling bodies arranged between the roller axle and the outer ring. The roller axle further including a cavity, at least in certain sections between its central axis and a load introduction point. Due to the provision of the cavity the load rating and the service life of the support roller are increased.
