Introduction For the convenience of installation work roller, there is clear- ance between work roller bearing seat and mill house in four- high mill, which makes work roller in an unstable state when there is no fixed side force on it. So it should have an offset between work roller axis center and backup roller, and its value certainty principle is to make the lateral reaction force of the frame acting on work roller bearing always greater than zero, and the force direction is constant. Modern four-high mills all set corresponding offset value [1, 2], such as 2050 CVC four-high rolling mill and 4300-medium plate mill of the German SMS, four-roll rolling mill of the British DAVY, 1580-pair cross four-high rolling mill of Japan Mitsubishi heavy industries. But these modern four-high mills with offset all have roller parallel positioning instability, and with the increasing of rolling load and speed, their disadvantages will become more serious. For these CSP mills, the offset value is 1.01.2 mm, which also facilitates replacement roller installation and disassembly and serves as a compensation of bearing thermal expansion space.

1 Introduction

For the convenience of installation work roller there is clear-ance between work roller bearing seat andmill house in four-high mill which makes work roller in an unstable state whenthere is no fixed side force on it So it should have an offset119890 between work roller axis center and backup roller and itsvalue certainty principle is to make the lateral reaction forceof the frame acting onwork roller bearing always greater thanzero and the force direction is constant Modern four-highmills all set corresponding offset value [1 2] such as 2050CVC four-high rolling mill and 4300-medium plate mill ofthe German SMS four-roll rolling mill of the British DAVY1580-pair cross four-high rolling mill of Japan Mitsubishiheavy industries But these modern four-high mills withoffset all have roller parallel positioning instability and withthe increasing of rolling load and speed their disadvantageswill become more serious For these CSP mills the offsetvalue is 10sim12mm which also facilitates replacement rollerinstallation and disassembly and serves as a compensation ofbearing thermal expansion space

Usually rolling mill vibration research does not distin-guishwhether rollingmill roll system is stable andmechanicsmodel is set up setting the mill under stabilization A singlevibration as the coupling mode with roll vertical horizontalaxial torsional cross and swing space vibration behavior isanalyzed Actually roller vibration will damage roll systemstability and cause bearing horizontal or vertical vibrationTherefore the CSP four-high mill vibration characteristics

were studied from the mill roll system stability and lateraldynamic behavior of the roll system in this paper

From Table 1 bearing width has negative deviation thenegative deviation is around 05mm Mill house width haspositive deviation the deviation value is around 18mmTheupper work roller clearance averages of drive side and opera-tion side are 2343mm and 2442mm respectivelyThe lowerwork roller clearance averages of drive side and operation sideare 2194mm and 2319mm respectively Obviously the F3mill house and bearing seat clearance aremuch larger originaldesign requirement (transition fit) namely the gap providesnecessary conditions to roller transverse vibration

According to the mechanical transmission theory thecondition of spindle can be normally operated as followsgear shaft axis roller axis and drum gear spindle axis mustbe located on the same plane and we must ensure that boththe included angles with the spindle axis are equal But withroll bearing seat and mill house plate wear (in the outlet sidemainly) roll connected end to the spindle will shift towardthe exit side Then the spindle will produce angle betweenthe vertical planes namely the spindle axis gear axis androller axis are not in a plane This will make the spindle haveadditional torque on the roller and the additional torquewill make the work roller produce deflection movement inthe horizontal direction which will make the bearing seatacting force uneven (as shown in Figure 4) and the bearingseat tilt (Figure 5) and roller axis cross (Figure 6) and otheradverse condition The additional horizontal force directionsof the operation side and transmission side of the rollerare opposite under the combined action of the clearanceand the additional bending moment which will make theroller bearing seat have crash tendency on mill house (thisis confirmed from the scene that bearing seat entrance sideplate also has certain wear and tear) In addition because ofthe bearing seat plate force and uneven wear (Figure 4) it

Work roller axial force caused by backup roller crossand rolled strip cross is divided into roller axial force anddeformation zone axial force And the deformation zoneaxial force is dominant which mainly comes from axialcomponent of the friction force and its direction depends onthe metal particle longitudinal and transverse sliding velocitydirection relative to the roller surface its value is related torolling pressure and the friction condition as follows

119865119886calculation equation the relationship curves between axial

force and reduction rate and bearing-mill house clearance areshown in Figure 8 It can be seen that the axial force causedby roller cross increases with reduction rate and clearanceincrease its effect on the system cannot be ignored

The F3 mill upper work roller vibration accelerationtesting time-domain parameters on field is shown in Table 2It can be seen that although axial force is less than 1 of therolling force roller axial vibration acceleration amplitude isclose to vertical acceleration and lateral acceleration so theaxial force (caused by rollers cross) destruction on the systemstability cannot be ignored we should try to eliminate the gapbetween roller bearing seat and the mill house at the sametime it also shows the gap has important influence on rollervibration

In addition because the length ofmill drumgear couplingis about 5m and its weight is about 7 tons and it has no

It can be seen from Figure 13 that the measured vibrationmain frequency has almost linear relationship with speedand the 20Hz torsional vibration is mainly around concen-trated in the gear mesh frequency of distribution box andthe first-order natural frequency of torsional vibration systemintersection The 50Hz vibration mainly concentrated in thedrum gear meshing frequency and the first-order naturalfrequency of the vertical vibration system intersection TheF3 rollingmill main vibrationmode is horizontal and verticalvibration vibration main frequency is 50Hz or so and hasapproximate linear relationship with the rolling speed Thefrequency is consistent with drum gear shaft gear meshingfrequency first-order natural frequency of vertical vibrationsystem and the-third order natural frequency of horizontalvibration which indicates that the drumgearmeshing impactexcites the stand vertical vibration system first-order and thehorizontal vibration third-order resonance It also can be seenfrom the spot photos (Figure 14) that the spindle drum gearremoved frommill has wear and tear both sides of the drumgear tooth and top all produced excessive wear phenomenonSo it will be beneficial to eliminate vibration mill if drumtooth meshing clearance is eliminated

The oversize clearance between mill house and bearingseat can cause roller crossover and roll system transversevibration in order to verify the clearance influence on theroll system dynamic characteristics it is necessary to carryout simulation and analysis Due to large weight of drumgear spindle when it has slight eccentric or installation errorwhich would cause arc tooth meshing impact the spindlesupport with arc tooth will play an important role on vibra-tion suppression But limited by various factors it is difficultto be implemented at the scene but these achievements havecertain inspiration to rolling mill manufacturers In orderto eliminate the gap and eliminate the phenomenon of rollbearing seat collision onmill house free expansion hydraulicplate can be used in order to reduce or eliminate the drumgear shaft imbalance force the drum gear spindle floatingsupport can be used In order to test and verify the effectof these measures the numerical simulation was carried outrespectively in this paper In Figure 16 the simulation curveis the roller displacement response diagram phase diagramand displacement power spectrum diagram respectively

According to the roll horizontal vibration mechanicsmodel (Figure 15) with the gap between roll bearing seat andmill house eliminated roll horizontal vibration differentialequations can be expressed as follows

the bearing seat and mill house clearance at site The rollerhorizontal vibration results after eliminating the clearanceare shown in Figure 18 and it can be seen after eliminatingthe clearance that chopped or touch vibration phenomenondisappears vibration amplitude is declined greatly and theenergy spread So the measure of gap eliminating can reducemill vibration (horizontal)

5 Conclusions

In order to deeply study the rolling mill vibration source theroll system structure stability was analyzed and calculatedfirstly and it had been found that when the F3 rolling millwork roller diameter is small the offset basically conformsto the requirements of the static stability Then the fieldmeasurement of the clearance betweenmill stand and bearingseat has been carried out and it was found that F3 clear-ance is much larger than the original design (transition fit)requirement namely the gap provides necessary conditionsfor roller horizontal vibrationThe drum gear coupling effecton the roll system stability is analyzed and it was found thatthe coupling transmission torque cannot meet self-centeringrequirement roller driving system always has unbalancedforce or centrifugal force and this is verified by the fieldvibration test At the same time the axial force by rollers crosscaused by roller system structure defect has great destructionon the system stability and it cannot be allowed to beignored Finally the roll horizontal friction chatter vibrationmechanics model was established and the simulation analysiswas carried out it showed that when eliminating the gapbetween the roller bearing seat and mill house and addingthe drum gear shaft floating support at the same timeroll vibration amplitude was reduced to one over ten ofthe original and by the phase diagram and the spectrumdiagram system dynamics have been improved thoroughlyand the roller ldquojump vibrationrdquo phenomenon disappeared Atthe same time adding copper gaskets to eliminate or reduce

the clearance between the bearing seat and mill house forvibration suppression at the scene the results showed thatafter the clearance is eliminated chopped or touch vibrationphenomenon disappeared and vibration amplitude value hasfallen obviously and the energy has spread that is it is helpfulto suppress roller horizontal vibration

Usually rolling mill vibration research does not distin-guishwhether rollingmill roll system is stable andmechanicsmodel is set up setting the mill under stabilization A singlevibration as the coupling mode with roll vertical horizontalaxial torsional cross and swing space vibration behavior isanalyzed Actually roller vibration will damage roll systemstability and cause bearing horizontal or vertical vibrationTherefore the CSP four-high mill vibration characteristics

were studied from the mill roll system stability and lateraldynamic behavior of the roll system in this paper

From Table 1 bearing width has negative deviation thenegative deviation is around 05mm Mill house width haspositive deviation the deviation value is around 18mmTheupper work roller clearance averages of drive side and opera-tion side are 2343mm and 2442mm respectivelyThe lowerwork roller clearance averages of drive side and operation sideare 2194mm and 2319mm respectively Obviously the F3mill house and bearing seat clearance aremuch larger originaldesign requirement (transition fit) namely the gap providesnecessary conditions to roller transverse vibration

According to the mechanical transmission theory thecondition of spindle can be normally operated as followsgear shaft axis roller axis and drum gear spindle axis mustbe located on the same plane and we must ensure that boththe included angles with the spindle axis are equal But withroll bearing seat and mill house plate wear (in the outlet sidemainly) roll connected end to the spindle will shift towardthe exit side Then the spindle will produce angle betweenthe vertical planes namely the spindle axis gear axis androller axis are not in a plane This will make the spindle haveadditional torque on the roller and the additional torquewill make the work roller produce deflection movement inthe horizontal direction which will make the bearing seatacting force uneven (as shown in Figure 4) and the bearingseat tilt (Figure 5) and roller axis cross (Figure 6) and otheradverse condition The additional horizontal force directionsof the operation side and transmission side of the rollerare opposite under the combined action of the clearanceand the additional bending moment which will make theroller bearing seat have crash tendency on mill house (thisis confirmed from the scene that bearing seat entrance sideplate also has certain wear and tear) In addition because ofthe bearing seat plate force and uneven wear (Figure 4) it

119865119886calculation equation the relationship curves between axial

force and reduction rate and bearing-mill house clearance areshown in Figure 8 It can be seen that the axial force causedby roller cross increases with reduction rate and clearanceincrease its effect on the system cannot be ignored

The F3 mill upper work roller vibration accelerationtesting time-domain parameters on field is shown in Table 2It can be seen that although axial force is less than 1 of therolling force roller axial vibration acceleration amplitude isclose to vertical acceleration and lateral acceleration so theaxial force (caused by rollers cross) destruction on the systemstability cannot be ignored we should try to eliminate the gapbetween roller bearing seat and the mill house at the sametime it also shows the gap has important influence on rollervibration

In addition because the length ofmill drumgear couplingis about 5m and its weight is about 7 tons and it has no

the bearing seat on left from mill house point 3 showsunbalanced force downward and point 4 shows unbalancedforce to the right and has a tendency to make the bearingseat pressure on the mill house For each point correspondsto 1sim4 drum gear meshing clearance is shown in Figure 11accordingly

Gear spindle shaft torque bending moment roller trans-verse vibration and vertical vibration test curve are shownin Figure 12 Figure 12(a) shows the strip bite stage and Fig-ure 12(b) shows strip rolling intermediate stage In the figureplumb line 1 is corresponding to spindle top point plumbline 2 is corresponding to spindle left point plumb line 3 iscorresponding to spindle bottom point and plumb line 4 iscorresponding to spindle right point and they are corre-sponding to Figures 10 and 11 From Figure 12(a) in the initialstage of strip entrance when drum teeth are in upper andlower vertices namely perpendicular lines 1 and 3 meshingimpact has greater influence on roller vibration At stablerolling stage in the left vertex (at perpendicular line 2) the

vibration ismost violent and in the right vertex the vibrationnearly disappeared This is because unbalanced force makesroller depart from the mill house and be in an unstable stateat the left point and makes meshing impact increase sharplyOn the contrary the imbalance force makes roller close tomill house and will not produce unstable state in right vertexThus this makes the waveform produce ldquogourdrdquo shape thisis also because some mills rarely have this vibration shapeequipped with slider or cross type spindle

In order to determine the vibration nature and find outthe vibration source considering the characteristics of thecollective of upper and lower roll drive speed frequencymap values contained the F3 first-order natural frequency oftorsional vibration system the first-order natural frequencyof stand vertical vibration system and the mill stand third-order natural frequency of transverse vibration system Con-centrated mass-spring model was adopted for the main drivesystem and the first four-order natural frequency is 217Hz73Hz 873Hz and 229Hz respectively The rolling mill

It can be seen from Figure 13 that the measured vibrationmain frequency has almost linear relationship with speedand the 20Hz torsional vibration is mainly around concen-trated in the gear mesh frequency of distribution box andthe first-order natural frequency of torsional vibration systemintersection The 50Hz vibration mainly concentrated in thedrum gear meshing frequency and the first-order naturalfrequency of the vertical vibration system intersection TheF3 rollingmill main vibrationmode is horizontal and verticalvibration vibration main frequency is 50Hz or so and hasapproximate linear relationship with the rolling speed Thefrequency is consistent with drum gear shaft gear meshingfrequency first-order natural frequency of vertical vibrationsystem and the-third order natural frequency of horizontalvibration which indicates that the drumgearmeshing impactexcites the stand vertical vibration system first-order and thehorizontal vibration third-order resonance It also can be seenfrom the spot photos (Figure 14) that the spindle drum gearremoved frommill has wear and tear both sides of the drumgear tooth and top all produced excessive wear phenomenonSo it will be beneficial to eliminate vibration mill if drumtooth meshing clearance is eliminated

119890and has a gap between roll

bearing seat and the mill house the work roller bearing seatmay jump from themill house and there is bearing impact onmill house conditions the system stability is damaged at thistime Considering the mill housing after elasticity we makeit as an elastic collision process in this paper Based on thisthe roller horizontal vibration system ldquojumprdquo model was setup in Figure 15 and the diagrams (a) (b) and (c) show workroll bearing pressing on the right side of the housing pillarand bearing seat in the middle and bearing pressing on theleft side of the housing pillar in sequence In the figure 119865

The oversize clearance between mill house and bearingseat can cause roller crossover and roll system transversevibration in order to verify the clearance influence on theroll system dynamic characteristics it is necessary to carryout simulation and analysis Due to large weight of drumgear spindle when it has slight eccentric or installation errorwhich would cause arc tooth meshing impact the spindlesupport with arc tooth will play an important role on vibra-tion suppression But limited by various factors it is difficultto be implemented at the scene but these achievements havecertain inspiration to rolling mill manufacturers In orderto eliminate the gap and eliminate the phenomenon of rollbearing seat collision onmill house free expansion hydraulicplate can be used in order to reduce or eliminate the drumgear shaft imbalance force the drum gear spindle floatingsupport can be used In order to test and verify the effectof these measures the numerical simulation was carried outrespectively in this paper In Figure 16 the simulation curveis the roller displacement response diagram phase diagramand displacement power spectrum diagram respectively

According to the roll horizontal vibration mechanicsmodel (Figure 15) with the gap between roll bearing seat andmill house eliminated roll horizontal vibration differentialequations can be expressed as follows

Figure 18 Roller horizontal vibration measured results after gapelimination

the bearing seat and mill house clearance at site The rollerhorizontal vibration results after eliminating the clearanceare shown in Figure 18 and it can be seen after eliminatingthe clearance that chopped or touch vibration phenomenondisappears vibration amplitude is declined greatly and theenergy spread So the measure of gap eliminating can reducemill vibration (horizontal)

5 Conclusions

In order to deeply study the rolling mill vibration source theroll system structure stability was analyzed and calculatedfirstly and it had been found that when the F3 rolling millwork roller diameter is small the offset basically conformsto the requirements of the static stability Then the fieldmeasurement of the clearance betweenmill stand and bearingseat has been carried out and it was found that F3 clear-ance is much larger than the original design (transition fit)requirement namely the gap provides necessary conditionsfor roller horizontal vibrationThe drum gear coupling effecton the roll system stability is analyzed and it was found thatthe coupling transmission torque cannot meet self-centeringrequirement roller driving system always has unbalancedforce or centrifugal force and this is verified by the fieldvibration test At the same time the axial force by rollers crosscaused by roller system structure defect has great destructionon the system stability and it cannot be allowed to beignored Finally the roll horizontal friction chatter vibrationmechanics model was established and the simulation analysiswas carried out it showed that when eliminating the gapbetween the roller bearing seat and mill house and addingthe drum gear shaft floating support at the same timeroll vibration amplitude was reduced to one over ten ofthe original and by the phase diagram and the spectrumdiagram system dynamics have been improved thoroughlyand the roller ldquojump vibrationrdquo phenomenon disappeared Atthe same time adding copper gaskets to eliminate or reduce

the clearance between the bearing seat and mill house forvibration suppression at the scene the results showed thatafter the clearance is eliminated chopped or touch vibrationphenomenon disappeared and vibration amplitude value hasfallen obviously and the energy has spread that is it is helpfulto suppress roller horizontal vibration

From Table 1 bearing width has negative deviation thenegative deviation is around 05mm Mill house width haspositive deviation the deviation value is around 18mmTheupper work roller clearance averages of drive side and opera-tion side are 2343mm and 2442mm respectivelyThe lowerwork roller clearance averages of drive side and operation sideare 2194mm and 2319mm respectively Obviously the F3mill house and bearing seat clearance aremuch larger originaldesign requirement (transition fit) namely the gap providesnecessary conditions to roller transverse vibration

According to the mechanical transmission theory thecondition of spindle can be normally operated as followsgear shaft axis roller axis and drum gear spindle axis mustbe located on the same plane and we must ensure that boththe included angles with the spindle axis are equal But withroll bearing seat and mill house plate wear (in the outlet sidemainly) roll connected end to the spindle will shift towardthe exit side Then the spindle will produce angle betweenthe vertical planes namely the spindle axis gear axis androller axis are not in a plane This will make the spindle haveadditional torque on the roller and the additional torquewill make the work roller produce deflection movement inthe horizontal direction which will make the bearing seatacting force uneven (as shown in Figure 4) and the bearingseat tilt (Figure 5) and roller axis cross (Figure 6) and otheradverse condition The additional horizontal force directionsof the operation side and transmission side of the rollerare opposite under the combined action of the clearanceand the additional bending moment which will make theroller bearing seat have crash tendency on mill house (thisis confirmed from the scene that bearing seat entrance sideplate also has certain wear and tear) In addition because ofthe bearing seat plate force and uneven wear (Figure 4) it

Work roller axial force caused by backup roller crossand rolled strip cross is divided into roller axial force anddeformation zone axial force And the deformation zoneaxial force is dominant which mainly comes from axialcomponent of the friction force and its direction depends onthe metal particle longitudinal and transverse sliding velocitydirection relative to the roller surface its value is related torolling pressure and the friction condition as follows

119865119886calculation equation the relationship curves between axial

force and reduction rate and bearing-mill house clearance areshown in Figure 8 It can be seen that the axial force causedby roller cross increases with reduction rate and clearanceincrease its effect on the system cannot be ignored

The F3 mill upper work roller vibration accelerationtesting time-domain parameters on field is shown in Table 2It can be seen that although axial force is less than 1 of therolling force roller axial vibration acceleration amplitude isclose to vertical acceleration and lateral acceleration so theaxial force (caused by rollers cross) destruction on the systemstability cannot be ignored we should try to eliminate the gapbetween roller bearing seat and the mill house at the sametime it also shows the gap has important influence on rollervibration

In addition because the length ofmill drumgear couplingis about 5m and its weight is about 7 tons and it has no

the bearing seat on left from mill house point 3 showsunbalanced force downward and point 4 shows unbalancedforce to the right and has a tendency to make the bearingseat pressure on the mill house For each point correspondsto 1sim4 drum gear meshing clearance is shown in Figure 11accordingly

Gear spindle shaft torque bending moment roller trans-verse vibration and vertical vibration test curve are shownin Figure 12 Figure 12(a) shows the strip bite stage and Fig-ure 12(b) shows strip rolling intermediate stage In the figureplumb line 1 is corresponding to spindle top point plumbline 2 is corresponding to spindle left point plumb line 3 iscorresponding to spindle bottom point and plumb line 4 iscorresponding to spindle right point and they are corre-sponding to Figures 10 and 11 From Figure 12(a) in the initialstage of strip entrance when drum teeth are in upper andlower vertices namely perpendicular lines 1 and 3 meshingimpact has greater influence on roller vibration At stablerolling stage in the left vertex (at perpendicular line 2) the

vibration ismost violent and in the right vertex the vibrationnearly disappeared This is because unbalanced force makesroller depart from the mill house and be in an unstable stateat the left point and makes meshing impact increase sharplyOn the contrary the imbalance force makes roller close tomill house and will not produce unstable state in right vertexThus this makes the waveform produce ldquogourdrdquo shape thisis also because some mills rarely have this vibration shapeequipped with slider or cross type spindle

In order to determine the vibration nature and find outthe vibration source considering the characteristics of thecollective of upper and lower roll drive speed frequencymap values contained the F3 first-order natural frequency oftorsional vibration system the first-order natural frequencyof stand vertical vibration system and the mill stand third-order natural frequency of transverse vibration system Con-centrated mass-spring model was adopted for the main drivesystem and the first four-order natural frequency is 217Hz73Hz 873Hz and 229Hz respectively The rolling mill

It can be seen from Figure 13 that the measured vibrationmain frequency has almost linear relationship with speedand the 20Hz torsional vibration is mainly around concen-trated in the gear mesh frequency of distribution box andthe first-order natural frequency of torsional vibration systemintersection The 50Hz vibration mainly concentrated in thedrum gear meshing frequency and the first-order naturalfrequency of the vertical vibration system intersection TheF3 rollingmill main vibrationmode is horizontal and verticalvibration vibration main frequency is 50Hz or so and hasapproximate linear relationship with the rolling speed Thefrequency is consistent with drum gear shaft gear meshingfrequency first-order natural frequency of vertical vibrationsystem and the-third order natural frequency of horizontalvibration which indicates that the drumgearmeshing impactexcites the stand vertical vibration system first-order and thehorizontal vibration third-order resonance It also can be seenfrom the spot photos (Figure 14) that the spindle drum gearremoved frommill has wear and tear both sides of the drumgear tooth and top all produced excessive wear phenomenonSo it will be beneficial to eliminate vibration mill if drumtooth meshing clearance is eliminated

The oversize clearance between mill house and bearingseat can cause roller crossover and roll system transversevibration in order to verify the clearance influence on theroll system dynamic characteristics it is necessary to carryout simulation and analysis Due to large weight of drumgear spindle when it has slight eccentric or installation errorwhich would cause arc tooth meshing impact the spindlesupport with arc tooth will play an important role on vibra-tion suppression But limited by various factors it is difficultto be implemented at the scene but these achievements havecertain inspiration to rolling mill manufacturers In orderto eliminate the gap and eliminate the phenomenon of rollbearing seat collision onmill house free expansion hydraulicplate can be used in order to reduce or eliminate the drumgear shaft imbalance force the drum gear spindle floatingsupport can be used In order to test and verify the effectof these measures the numerical simulation was carried outrespectively in this paper In Figure 16 the simulation curveis the roller displacement response diagram phase diagramand displacement power spectrum diagram respectively

According to the roll horizontal vibration mechanicsmodel (Figure 15) with the gap between roll bearing seat andmill house eliminated roll horizontal vibration differentialequations can be expressed as follows

5 Conclusions

In order to deeply study the rolling mill vibration source theroll system structure stability was analyzed and calculatedfirstly and it had been found that when the F3 rolling millwork roller diameter is small the offset basically conformsto the requirements of the static stability Then the fieldmeasurement of the clearance betweenmill stand and bearingseat has been carried out and it was found that F3 clear-ance is much larger than the original design (transition fit)requirement namely the gap provides necessary conditionsfor roller horizontal vibrationThe drum gear coupling effecton the roll system stability is analyzed and it was found thatthe coupling transmission torque cannot meet self-centeringrequirement roller driving system always has unbalancedforce or centrifugal force and this is verified by the fieldvibration test At the same time the axial force by rollers crosscaused by roller system structure defect has great destructionon the system stability and it cannot be allowed to beignored Finally the roll horizontal friction chatter vibrationmechanics model was established and the simulation analysiswas carried out it showed that when eliminating the gapbetween the roller bearing seat and mill house and addingthe drum gear shaft floating support at the same timeroll vibration amplitude was reduced to one over ten ofthe original and by the phase diagram and the spectrumdiagram system dynamics have been improved thoroughlyand the roller ldquojump vibrationrdquo phenomenon disappeared Atthe same time adding copper gaskets to eliminate or reduce

the clearance between the bearing seat and mill house forvibration suppression at the scene the results showed thatafter the clearance is eliminated chopped or touch vibrationphenomenon disappeared and vibration amplitude value hasfallen obviously and the energy has spread that is it is helpfulto suppress roller horizontal vibration

where 120591 is the deformation area friction 120595 is sliding anglebetween metal and the rollers 120593 is roller crossing angle V isthe arbitrary point metal flow rate in deformation area andV119877is rotational speed of roller surface Thus according to the

119865119886calculation equation the relationship curves between axial

force and reduction rate and bearing-mill house clearance areshown in Figure 8 It can be seen that the axial force causedby roller cross increases with reduction rate and clearanceincrease its effect on the system cannot be ignored

The F3 mill upper work roller vibration accelerationtesting time-domain parameters on field is shown in Table 2It can be seen that although axial force is less than 1 of therolling force roller axial vibration acceleration amplitude isclose to vertical acceleration and lateral acceleration so theaxial force (caused by rollers cross) destruction on the systemstability cannot be ignored we should try to eliminate the gapbetween roller bearing seat and the mill house at the sametime it also shows the gap has important influence on rollervibration

In addition because the length ofmill drumgear couplingis about 5m and its weight is about 7 tons and it has no

Figure 12 Roller system vibration measurement results

the bearing seat on left from mill house point 3 showsunbalanced force downward and point 4 shows unbalancedforce to the right and has a tendency to make the bearingseat pressure on the mill house For each point correspondsto 1sim4 drum gear meshing clearance is shown in Figure 11accordingly

Gear spindle shaft torque bending moment roller trans-verse vibration and vertical vibration test curve are shownin Figure 12 Figure 12(a) shows the strip bite stage and Fig-ure 12(b) shows strip rolling intermediate stage In the figureplumb line 1 is corresponding to spindle top point plumbline 2 is corresponding to spindle left point plumb line 3 iscorresponding to spindle bottom point and plumb line 4 iscorresponding to spindle right point and they are corre-sponding to Figures 10 and 11 From Figure 12(a) in the initialstage of strip entrance when drum teeth are in upper andlower vertices namely perpendicular lines 1 and 3 meshingimpact has greater influence on roller vibration At stablerolling stage in the left vertex (at perpendicular line 2) the

vibration ismost violent and in the right vertex the vibrationnearly disappeared This is because unbalanced force makesroller depart from the mill house and be in an unstable stateat the left point and makes meshing impact increase sharplyOn the contrary the imbalance force makes roller close tomill house and will not produce unstable state in right vertexThus this makes the waveform produce ldquogourdrdquo shape thisis also because some mills rarely have this vibration shapeequipped with slider or cross type spindle

In order to determine the vibration nature and find outthe vibration source considering the characteristics of thecollective of upper and lower roll drive speed frequencymap values contained the F3 first-order natural frequency oftorsional vibration system the first-order natural frequencyof stand vertical vibration system and the mill stand third-order natural frequency of transverse vibration system Con-centrated mass-spring model was adopted for the main drivesystem and the first four-order natural frequency is 217Hz73Hz 873Hz and 229Hz respectively The rolling mill

It can be seen from Figure 13 that the measured vibrationmain frequency has almost linear relationship with speedand the 20Hz torsional vibration is mainly around concen-trated in the gear mesh frequency of distribution box andthe first-order natural frequency of torsional vibration systemintersection The 50Hz vibration mainly concentrated in thedrum gear meshing frequency and the first-order naturalfrequency of the vertical vibration system intersection TheF3 rollingmill main vibrationmode is horizontal and verticalvibration vibration main frequency is 50Hz or so and hasapproximate linear relationship with the rolling speed Thefrequency is consistent with drum gear shaft gear meshingfrequency first-order natural frequency of vertical vibrationsystem and the-third order natural frequency of horizontalvibration which indicates that the drumgearmeshing impactexcites the stand vertical vibration system first-order and thehorizontal vibration third-order resonance It also can be seenfrom the spot photos (Figure 14) that the spindle drum gearremoved frommill has wear and tear both sides of the drumgear tooth and top all produced excessive wear phenomenonSo it will be beneficial to eliminate vibration mill if drumtooth meshing clearance is eliminated

4 Roller Horizontal Friction-ImpactVibration Characteristic Analysis

Combined with structural characteristics of the roll systemroll horizontal vibration dynamic model is set up Accordingto the roll loading characteristics when the extraneous forceis more than offset drift force 119865

119890and has a gap between roll

bearing seat and the mill house the work roller bearing seatmay jump from themill house and there is bearing impact onmill house conditions the system stability is damaged at thistime Considering the mill housing after elasticity we makeit as an elastic collision process in this paper Based on thisthe roller horizontal vibration system ldquojumprdquo model was setup in Figure 15 and the diagrams (a) (b) and (c) show workroll bearing pressing on the right side of the housing pillarand bearing seat in the middle and bearing pressing on theleft side of the housing pillar in sequence In the figure 119865

where 119898 is the weight of work roller 119865 is extraneous forceΩ is the roll rotation frequency and 119891(119909 ) expression is asfollows

The oversize clearance between mill house and bearingseat can cause roller crossover and roll system transversevibration in order to verify the clearance influence on theroll system dynamic characteristics it is necessary to carryout simulation and analysis Due to large weight of drumgear spindle when it has slight eccentric or installation errorwhich would cause arc tooth meshing impact the spindlesupport with arc tooth will play an important role on vibra-tion suppression But limited by various factors it is difficultto be implemented at the scene but these achievements havecertain inspiration to rolling mill manufacturers In orderto eliminate the gap and eliminate the phenomenon of rollbearing seat collision onmill house free expansion hydraulicplate can be used in order to reduce or eliminate the drumgear shaft imbalance force the drum gear spindle floatingsupport can be used In order to test and verify the effectof these measures the numerical simulation was carried outrespectively in this paper In Figure 16 the simulation curveis the roller displacement response diagram phase diagramand displacement power spectrum diagram respectively

According to the roll horizontal vibration mechanicsmodel (Figure 15) with the gap between roll bearing seat andmill house eliminated roll horizontal vibration differentialequations can be expressed as follows

Figure 18 Roller horizontal vibration measured results after gapelimination

the bearing seat and mill house clearance at site The rollerhorizontal vibration results after eliminating the clearanceare shown in Figure 18 and it can be seen after eliminatingthe clearance that chopped or touch vibration phenomenondisappears vibration amplitude is declined greatly and theenergy spread So the measure of gap eliminating can reducemill vibration (horizontal)

5 Conclusions

In order to deeply study the rolling mill vibration source theroll system structure stability was analyzed and calculatedfirstly and it had been found that when the F3 rolling millwork roller diameter is small the offset basically conformsto the requirements of the static stability Then the fieldmeasurement of the clearance betweenmill stand and bearingseat has been carried out and it was found that F3 clear-ance is much larger than the original design (transition fit)requirement namely the gap provides necessary conditionsfor roller horizontal vibrationThe drum gear coupling effecton the roll system stability is analyzed and it was found thatthe coupling transmission torque cannot meet self-centeringrequirement roller driving system always has unbalancedforce or centrifugal force and this is verified by the fieldvibration test At the same time the axial force by rollers crosscaused by roller system structure defect has great destructionon the system stability and it cannot be allowed to beignored Finally the roll horizontal friction chatter vibrationmechanics model was established and the simulation analysiswas carried out it showed that when eliminating the gapbetween the roller bearing seat and mill house and addingthe drum gear shaft floating support at the same timeroll vibration amplitude was reduced to one over ten ofthe original and by the phase diagram and the spectrumdiagram system dynamics have been improved thoroughlyand the roller ldquojump vibrationrdquo phenomenon disappeared Atthe same time adding copper gaskets to eliminate or reduce

the clearance between the bearing seat and mill house forvibration suppression at the scene the results showed thatafter the clearance is eliminated chopped or touch vibrationphenomenon disappeared and vibration amplitude value hasfallen obviously and the energy has spread that is it is helpfulto suppress roller horizontal vibration

The oversize clearance between mill house and bearingseat can cause roller crossover and roll system transversevibration in order to verify the clearance influence on theroll system dynamic characteristics it is necessary to carryout simulation and analysis Due to large weight of drumgear spindle when it has slight eccentric or installation errorwhich would cause arc tooth meshing impact the spindlesupport with arc tooth will play an important role on vibra-tion suppression But limited by various factors it is difficultto be implemented at the scene but these achievements havecertain inspiration to rolling mill manufacturers In orderto eliminate the gap and eliminate the phenomenon of rollbearing seat collision onmill house free expansion hydraulicplate can be used in order to reduce or eliminate the drumgear shaft imbalance force the drum gear spindle floatingsupport can be used In order to test and verify the effectof these measures the numerical simulation was carried outrespectively in this paper In Figure 16 the simulation curveis the roller displacement response diagram phase diagramand displacement power spectrum diagram respectively

the bearing seat and mill house clearance at site The rollerhorizontal vibration results after eliminating the clearanceare shown in Figure 18 and it can be seen after eliminatingthe clearance that chopped or touch vibration phenomenondisappears vibration amplitude is declined greatly and theenergy spread So the measure of gap eliminating can reducemill vibration (horizontal)

5 Conclusions

In order to deeply study the rolling mill vibration source theroll system structure stability was analyzed and calculatedfirstly and it had been found that when the F3 rolling millwork roller diameter is small the offset basically conformsto the requirements of the static stability Then the fieldmeasurement of the clearance betweenmill stand and bearingseat has been carried out and it was found that F3 clear-ance is much larger than the original design (transition fit)requirement namely the gap provides necessary conditionsfor roller horizontal vibrationThe drum gear coupling effecton the roll system stability is analyzed and it was found thatthe coupling transmission torque cannot meet self-centeringrequirement roller driving system always has unbalancedforce or centrifugal force and this is verified by the fieldvibration test At the same time the axial force by rollers crosscaused by roller system structure defect has great destructionon the system stability and it cannot be allowed to beignored Finally the roll horizontal friction chatter vibrationmechanics model was established and the simulation analysiswas carried out it showed that when eliminating the gapbetween the roller bearing seat and mill house and addingthe drum gear shaft floating support at the same timeroll vibration amplitude was reduced to one over ten ofthe original and by the phase diagram and the spectrumdiagram system dynamics have been improved thoroughlyand the roller ldquojump vibrationrdquo phenomenon disappeared Atthe same time adding copper gaskets to eliminate or reduce

the clearance between the bearing seat and mill house forvibration suppression at the scene the results showed thatafter the clearance is eliminated chopped or touch vibrationphenomenon disappeared and vibration amplitude value hasfallen obviously and the energy has spread that is it is helpfulto suppress roller horizontal vibration

It can be seen from Figure 13 that the measured vibrationmain frequency has almost linear relationship with speedand the 20Hz torsional vibration is mainly around concen-trated in the gear mesh frequency of distribution box andthe first-order natural frequency of torsional vibration systemintersection The 50Hz vibration mainly concentrated in thedrum gear meshing frequency and the first-order naturalfrequency of the vertical vibration system intersection TheF3 rollingmill main vibrationmode is horizontal and verticalvibration vibration main frequency is 50Hz or so and hasapproximate linear relationship with the rolling speed Thefrequency is consistent with drum gear shaft gear meshingfrequency first-order natural frequency of vertical vibrationsystem and the-third order natural frequency of horizontalvibration which indicates that the drumgearmeshing impactexcites the stand vertical vibration system first-order and thehorizontal vibration third-order resonance It also can be seenfrom the spot photos (Figure 14) that the spindle drum gearremoved frommill has wear and tear both sides of the drumgear tooth and top all produced excessive wear phenomenonSo it will be beneficial to eliminate vibration mill if drumtooth meshing clearance is eliminated

4 Roller Horizontal Friction-ImpactVibration Characteristic Analysis

Combined with structural characteristics of the roll systemroll horizontal vibration dynamic model is set up Accordingto the roll loading characteristics when the extraneous forceis more than offset drift force 119865

119890and has a gap between roll

bearing seat and the mill house the work roller bearing seatmay jump from themill house and there is bearing impact onmill house conditions the system stability is damaged at thistime Considering the mill housing after elasticity we makeit as an elastic collision process in this paper Based on thisthe roller horizontal vibration system ldquojumprdquo model was setup in Figure 15 and the diagrams (a) (b) and (c) show workroll bearing pressing on the right side of the housing pillarand bearing seat in the middle and bearing pressing on theleft side of the housing pillar in sequence In the figure 119865

119898 + 119891 (119909 ) = 119865 cosΩ119905 cos 51Ω119905 (9)

where 119898 is the weight of work roller 119865 is extraneous forceΩ is the roll rotation frequency and 119891(119909 ) expression is asfollows

119891 (119909 ) =

The oversize clearance between mill house and bearingseat can cause roller crossover and roll system transversevibration in order to verify the clearance influence on theroll system dynamic characteristics it is necessary to carryout simulation and analysis Due to large weight of drumgear spindle when it has slight eccentric or installation errorwhich would cause arc tooth meshing impact the spindlesupport with arc tooth will play an important role on vibra-tion suppression But limited by various factors it is difficultto be implemented at the scene but these achievements havecertain inspiration to rolling mill manufacturers In orderto eliminate the gap and eliminate the phenomenon of rollbearing seat collision onmill house free expansion hydraulicplate can be used in order to reduce or eliminate the drumgear shaft imbalance force the drum gear spindle floatingsupport can be used In order to test and verify the effectof these measures the numerical simulation was carried outrespectively in this paper In Figure 16 the simulation curveis the roller displacement response diagram phase diagramand displacement power spectrum diagram respectively

According to the roll horizontal vibration mechanicsmodel (Figure 15) with the gap between roll bearing seat andmill house eliminated roll horizontal vibration differentialequations can be expressed as follows

In order to deeply study the rolling mill vibration source theroll system structure stability was analyzed and calculatedfirstly and it had been found that when the F3 rolling millwork roller diameter is small the offset basically conformsto the requirements of the static stability Then the fieldmeasurement of the clearance betweenmill stand and bearingseat has been carried out and it was found that F3 clear-ance is much larger than the original design (transition fit)requirement namely the gap provides necessary conditionsfor roller horizontal vibrationThe drum gear coupling effecton the roll system stability is analyzed and it was found thatthe coupling transmission torque cannot meet self-centeringrequirement roller driving system always has unbalancedforce or centrifugal force and this is verified by the fieldvibration test At the same time the axial force by rollers crosscaused by roller system structure defect has great destructionon the system stability and it cannot be allowed to beignored Finally the roll horizontal friction chatter vibrationmechanics model was established and the simulation analysiswas carried out it showed that when eliminating the gapbetween the roller bearing seat and mill house and addingthe drum gear shaft floating support at the same timeroll vibration amplitude was reduced to one over ten ofthe original and by the phase diagram and the spectrumdiagram system dynamics have been improved thoroughlyand the roller ldquojump vibrationrdquo phenomenon disappeared Atthe same time adding copper gaskets to eliminate or reduce

the clearance between the bearing seat and mill house forvibration suppression at the scene the results showed thatafter the clearance is eliminated chopped or touch vibrationphenomenon disappeared and vibration amplitude value hasfallen obviously and the energy has spread that is it is helpfulto suppress roller horizontal vibration
