Rolling mill gearbox
Rolling mill gearbox
A Rolling Mill Gearbox is a drivetrain component that transmits torque and maintains stable speed control for rolling stands. In hot rolling, drivetrain stability influences not only power delivery but also vibration behavior, load shocks, and overall rolling controllability.
Product Description
A Rolling Mill Gearbox operates in the main drivetrain system of the hot rolling section, transmitting torque and maintaining speed stability for rolling stands. Gearbox alignment stability directly affects vibration behavior, gear meshing condition, and bearing life under heavy cyclic load.
In many projects, manufacturing scope focuses on gearbox housings and structural components rather than complete gear assemblies. From an engineering standpoint, critical concerns include shaft center distance accuracy, mounting face flatness, bore positional tolerance, and datum consistency that governs final assembly alignment.
For procurement and acceptance, inspection normally emphasizes mounting face flatness, bearing bore position, shaft center distance, and datum-based dimensional reports. At RFQ stage, providing assembly method, tolerance scheme, interface drawings, and historical vibration or noise issues allows machining and inspection plans to be aligned with drivetrain performance requirements.
