Abstract
An apparatus for determining the pressure forces effective in a rolling mill having at least one controlled deflection roll and at least one counter roll, there being provided beams for simulating the stiffness or rigidity of the counter roll and the shell of the controlled deflection roll. These are further provided pressure elements which simulate the effect of the hydrostatic pressure or support elements of the controlled deflection roll, and measuring elements serve to measure the pressure between the beams. External pressure elements can serve to simulate the effect of external contact or pressure cylinders. With a rolling mill having a number of controlled deflection rolls and a number of solid counter rolls, the beams, the pressure elements and the measuring elements can be appropriately grouped or assembled together. The measuring elements deliver signals which can be employed for controlling or regulating a corresponding rolling mill which is simulated.
