Cooling device () for cooling a seamless, rolled pipe (R) made of a metal, preferably steel, which has a nozzle assembly () comprising one or more nozzles (), which are configured to apply a cooling medium (K), preferably water or a water mixture, to the outer circumferential surface of the pipe (R) while the pipe (R) is transported along a conveying direction (F) through a cooling section of the cooling device (), wherein the nozzle assembly () has an access (Z), via which the pipe (R) can be removed from the cooling section in the radial direction of the pipe (R), preferably upward.

Cooling device for seamless steel pipes

A device for measuring a wear condition on the plain bearing surface of a sensor plate comprises a measuring apparatus, which has wear sensors of a sensor plate integrated into the plain bearing surface. To capture the material removal at the plain bearing surface due to wear an evaluation apparatus is in signal connection with the wear sensors. The evaluation apparatus is designed, with respect to programming, in such a way that a change, in particular an increase, in the ohmic resistance value of the electrical conductor of a certain wear sensor can be captured in dependence on its own material removal, in order to thereby ensure that the amount of the material removal at the plain bearing surface and/or the remaining thickness of the plain bearing surface at the location of said certain wear sensor can be inferred from the detected change in the resistance value.

Device and method for measuring a wear condition of plain bearing or guide elements

A metallurgical device, in particular a casting installation, rolling mill or strip processing installation, including at least one machine part rotating about an axis, wherein an energy consumer that is in electrical connection with an energy source is arranged in the machine part. To supply the energy consumer with energy on a sustained basis in spite of adverse ambient conditions, the energy source is designed as a generator which is in connection with the rotating machine part for rotation therewith, wherein the generator is otherwise free of any mechanical connection with the metallurgical device and wherein the generator has a housing element, on which at least one eccentric mass arranged at a location that is at a distance radially from the axis.

Metallurgical device with self-powered sensing

A method and a device for controlling a parameter, for example the profile or the flatness, of a rolled stock in strip form. A cooling jacket that can be brought up to the roll and is designed to be variable in its effective length b in the circumferential direction of the roll is used as a final controlling element.

Method and device for controlling a parameter of a rolled stock

A device for cooling a roll for rolling materials, including a cooling shell opposite a sub-region of the roll surface circumference, for forming a cooling gap, through which a cooling fluid can flow, between the sub-region and the cooling shell. The device further includes a first lever which can be pivoted about a suspension point, which can be pivoted toward the roll surface, and which is rotatably connected to a first end region of the cooling shell, when viewed in the circumferential direction of the roll, and a second lever which can be pivoted about another suspension point, which can be pivoted toward the roll surface, and which is rotatably connected to the second end region of the cooling shell, when viewed in the circumferential direction of the roll, such that the cooling gap can be selectively reduced or increased by pivoting the levers.
