METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SETTING AXIAL POSITION OF AXLE THRUST BEARING RELATIVE TO REFERENCE ELEMENT Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B21B31/07 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to setting of axial position of thrust beating relative to reference element including axle and rolling mill roll axle thrust bearing. Proposed device comprises first structural element 2 retaining thrust bearing outer race 1 in locked axial position relative to said element 2 and having first thread 5 with first pitch. It includes also second element 30 with second thread with second pitch and locating element 32 with first thread with first pitch of first structural element 2 with second thread of reference element 30. Note here that second thread is made to partially engage with locating element 32. Note also that said locating element 21 is made to partially engage with first thread, or first thread engages partially with locating element 32 while the latter engages partially said second thread. Rotation of first structural element 2 and/or of part engaged therewith changes axial position of thrust bearing 2 relative to reference element 30.

EFFECT: simple and precise repeated location.
