LOOP REGULATOR Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: equipment of strip rolling stands.

SUBSTANCE: loop regulator includes roller mounted at both sides of strip in respective rotary lever joined with shaft of loop regulator. At rotating shaft of loop regulator it is possible to place said roller onto strip. Rotary levers are separated by means of hinge to lever of shaft and to lever of roller. Counter-acting force corresponding to lengthwise tension and acting upon roller from strip is deflected by said hinge to each of load cell mounted on rotary levers. Hinge, roller of loop regulator and load cell form triangle with three sides. Load cell has power axis; lever of roller performs in zone of load cell motion practically parallel to power axis. Lever of shaft and lever of roller are mutually joined near load cell through fastening member in order to prevent lever raising relative to load cell.

EFFECT: possibility for measuring wedge zone of lengthwise tension acting along width of strip.
