Device for loading the guide surfaces of bearing chocks supported in the housing windows of rolling stands
View Patent ↗A device for loading the guide surfaces of bearing chocks (LS) supported in the housing windows (SF) of rolling stands with pressure plates (DP) that can be placed on the guide surfaces and that can be loaded by a hydraulic piston (K) supported in the rolling stand housings (ST), wherein devices for measuring the pressure and devices (WM) for measuring the displacement of the piston are assigned to the hydraulic piston (K), and wherein the frictional force is eliminated by adjusting well-defined clearances between the bearing chocks (LS) and the guide surfaces.
1. A method for operating a device for loading guide surfaces of bearing chocks supported in housing windows of rolling stands with pressure plates that can be placed on the guide surfaces and that can be loaded by hydraulic piston-cylinder units supported in the rolling stand housings, wherein devices for measuring pressure and devices (WM) for measuring displacement of the piston are assigned to the hydraulic piston wherein, by pressing the pressure plates against the bearing chocks and measuring a piston stroke towards the bearing chocks on a tending side and a drive side of the roll, a position of the roll is determined and stored, and then wear on the housing windows of the rolling stand is determined by comparing measured values with previously stored values.
2. A method according to claim 1 , wherein frictional force is eliminated by adjusting well-defined clearances between the bearing chocks and the guide surfaces.
