Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for use in a rolling mill to support the bearing chocks of a work roll in a roll housing. The apparatus includes specially designed components interposed between the bearing chocks and the restraining devices employed to oppose the axial and transverse forces developed during a rolling operation. The aforesaid components offer minimum resistance to movement of the bearing chocks through minute distances in the direction of rolling. The apparatus of the present invention makes it possible to measure tension in the product being rolled by employing sensing devices acting on the bearing chocks.
