The object of this invention is a rolling mill stand with one pair of work rolls for a rolling metal strip, with intermediate rolls and back-up rolls. Here, the work rolls are supported at the sides by supporting systems, where a supporting force directed towards the work roll can be applied to each supporting system by means of a force generating device and the supporting system can be moved from an idle position into an operating position. According to the invention, the two work rolls can be replaced by work rolls with a different diameter, where only the supporting systems have to be replaced by supporting systems with supporting rolls of a different diameter, but the intermediate rolls and back-up rolls need not be changed.

The invention relates to a cross-rolling mill, having a plurality of roll shafts (1), each applying a radially directed rolling force to a workpiece, wherein orientation of a roll axis (w) of at least one of the roll shafts (1) adjustably changes about a first adjustment axis (S1) and a second adjustment axis (S2), wherein an intermediate member (9, 10) is arranged between a rotary baring (4, 5) and a control element (11, 12), and wherein the intermediate member (9, 10) includes a rolling force-transmitting rocker pin (14, 15) having a spherical surface (14a, 14b, 15a, 15b) that provides for pivotal movement in a plurality of directions.
