Bearing block unit and use thereof

Abstract

A bearing block unit for supporting a continuous casting roll, including a bearing block and a roller bearing disposed inside the bearing block. The bearing provides an inner ring raceway, an outer ring raceway, and at least one row of rolling bodies disposed between the inner and outer ring raceways. The inner ring raceway is formed by a complete and continuous independent inner ring. The inner ring is fitted on a roll shaft of the continuous casting roll during installation, for the purpose of supporting the continuous casting roll. The outer ring raceway is at least partially formed by processing of an inner surface of an inner hole of the bearing block. The present invention also relates to a continuous casting roll line and a continuous casting machine using the bearing block unit.
