(54)	Parting adjustment system for housingless roll stand

(57) A housingless roll stand has parallel first and second rolls (12,14) extending transversely with respect to the mill passline (P). The roll ends of the first roll (12) are journalled for rotation in bearings (16) contained in first chock assemblies (18) and the roll ends of the second roll (14) are journalled for rotation in bearings (16) contained in second chock assemblies (20). Each of the first chock assemblies is arranged adjacent to a second chock assembly on a respective side of the mill pass line. Pairs of identically configured screw shafts (22) interconnect each of the first chock assemblies to the adjacent second chock assembly. The screw shafts each have a first threaded section (22a) threadedly engaged with the respective first chock assembly and an opposite hand second threaded section (22c) threadedly engaged with the respective second chock assembly. The screw shafts are simultaneously rotated to effect roll parting adjustments.
