(54) Rolling mill


(57) A rolling mill (25) has a pair of upper and lower rolls (29, 30) capable of rolling a metal strip (56), and motors (38, 47) for driving the upper and lower rolls, respectively. Provided between the upper roll (29) and the upper-roll driving motor (38) and between the lower roll (30) and the lower-roll driving motor (47) are joint means (34 and 36, and 43 and 45) with diameter greater than a diameter of the rolls (29, 30). The upper- and lower-roll driving motors (38, 47) are arranged at opposite sides of the paired rolls (29, 30).
