Abstract
A universal roll stand including a multiple-part stationary roll housing on the drive side and a multiple-part roll housing on the operator side which can be moved away, wherein the housings are connected to each other through hydraulically pretensioned tie rods or the like. The roll housings are composed of conventional two-high housing frames and vertical frames which can be fixedly anchored to the two-high housing frames. The vertical frames may be composed of several parts and include two flange-mounted beams arranged spaced apart from each other by the distance between the housing beams of the roll stand and a crosshead connected to the flange-mounted beams.
