Abstract
A rolling mill stand, particularly for rolling rod, has two roll shafts each carrying a roll. Each roll shaft is carried by an eccentric shaft which also carries a drive shaft aligned with the roll shaft and coupled to it through a drive coupling permitting limited misalignment between the roll and drive shafts. An adjustment drive mechanism acts on the two eccentric shafts to turn them equally and oppositely and to cause the separation between the roll shafts and between the drive shafts to be altered. Each drive shaft has a gear drive consisting of a gear on the drive shaft meshing with a gear on an auxiliary drive shaft and the gears on the two auxiliary drive shafts mesh with one another.
