Drive roll monitoring

Rolling-mill drive rolls: torque and torsional vibration — Bently Nevada, Artesis. KEG TRK.

Drive roll monitoring

Drive rolls

Drive rolls transmit torque in the stand. Torsional vibration, coupling backlash and bearing wear spoil gauge and stop the mill. Hot rolling heat and shock accelerate defects.

Monitor roll/gearbox bearings, coupling torsion/runout, motor current via Artesis, stand support vibration. SCOUT routes + Artesis; trend critical stands. Correlate with rolling mills and shears.
