A roll press rolls each including an upper roll and a lower roll that are supported by a main bearing at both ends and rotate at a predetermined speed, upper and lower bending bearings that are disposed outside each of the main bearings and correct deflection of the press rolls by receiving a bending load, an upper reverse operation bending mechanism provided in the upper roll that operates with hydraulic oil, a lower reverse operation bending mechanism provided in the lower roll, and two upper reverse operation bending mechanisms and two lower reverse operation bending mechanisms being installed in the upper and lower bending bearings, respectively. Deflection occurring in the upper roll and the lower roll is corrected by causing the upper reverse operation bending mechanism or the lower reverse operation bending mechanism to generate downward power or upward power, respectively.

A segmental calendering device includes a framework, a pair of left-rolling sliding guide mechanism, a pair of right-rolling sliding guide mechanisms, an upper-calendering roller and a supporting mechanism of the upper-calendering roller, a lower-calendering roller as well as a pressing mechanism. The upper-calendering roller is rotatably supported within the supporting mechanism of the upper-calendering roller and disposed above a position between a left wallboard and a right wallboard of the framework, and the supporting mechanism of the upper-calendering roller slides along the pair of left-rolling sliding guide mechanisms and the pair of right-rolling sliding guide mechanisms. The lower-calendering roller is disposed below the upper-calendering roller correspondingly and rotatably supported between the left wallboard and the right wallboard. The pressing mechanism is for applying a pressure on the supporting mechanism of the upper-calendering roller and for adjusting the pressure.

This circular rolling mill has a fixed main frame, a pair of cylindrical rollers, internal and external, to shape internal and external radial faces of an annular part and supported by a first secondary frame mounted on the main frame, as well as a pair of conical rollers, upper and lower, to shape opposite front faces of the part and supported by a second secondary frame mounted on the main frame. At least one rack and pinion assembly moves a roller in translation relative to one of the secondary frames. At least one electric geared motor drives the pinion of the rack and pinion assembly. The electric geared motor is fixedly mounted relative to one of the auxiliary frames. A fluid discharge mechanism is interposed in a kinematic chain for transmitting force between the rack and the roller moved by this rack. The fluid discharge mechanism has at least one variable volume chamber supplied with pressurized fluid and the volume of which varies as a function of the relative position of the roller and of the rack.
