A device for adjusting an object, for example a roll in a roll stand including a rotatably mounted pressure spindle and a torque motor having a stator and a rotor for rotationally driving the pressure spindle. In addition, the device includes a fixedly arranged pressure nut, which is engaged with the pressure spindle in a rotationally coupled manner via a thread to generate an axial movement of the pressure spindle in case of its rotation. Due to the axial movement generated in this way, the device can generate an axial adjustment force and transmit it to the object to be adjusted.

Metal plastic forming processes and equipment that provides a flexible skew rolling mill with dual-rotatable-shafts, including a base unit, a guide unit, two rollers, two servo main-shaft systems, a roller distance adjusting mechanism, two tilt angle adjusting mechanisms, a cooling system and a numerical control system. The two servo main-shaft systems are mounted under the support of the two beds, thereby driving the two rollers to do rotation motion; the roller distance adjusting mechanism drives the two beds, thereby enabling the two rollers to do synchronous centering and radial feed motion; the two tilt angle adjusting mechanisms drive the servo main-shaft systems respectively to rotate around a horizontal rolling center line and enable the two rollers to do tilt angle adjustment motion; and the numerical control system controls a rotating speed, radial feed and tilt angle adjustment of the two rollers, such that skew rolling mills and rollers of the same dimensions and specification can form shaft parts of different dimensions and specifications by flexible skew rolling. The flexible skew rolling mill with dual-rotatable-shafts has the advantages that the beds are synchronously centered and radial feed, the strength of the beds is high, the mounting and debugging are convenient, flexible production can be realized and the like such that the flexible skew rolling mill has broad prospects of being applied to the field of forming large-diameter shaft parts with diversified specifications.

Disclosed is a rolling method for rolling a strip including: rolling the strip by a pair of working rolls; transmitting a rolling force to the working rolls by a pair of support rolls; holding each of the working rolls by a pair of side support rollers; supporting each side support roller by two rows formed by rollers; supporting each row formed by the rollers, by a bearing support carrying rollers, the bearing support mounted pivotally on an articulation axis. The dimensions of a first interspace between the side support roller and the support roll and a second interspace between the strip and the assembly consisting of side support roller and bearing support vary in the course of the rolling. The method includes adjusting the dimension separating the axis of the support roll and the axis of the side support roller defining the first interspace.
