Continuous Casting Ladle Lift Bearing System
US Patent:
6640691, Nov 4, 2003
Filed:
Jun 15, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/881273
Inventors:
Anthony E. Scotto - Pittsburgh PA
Assignee:
SMS Demag, Inc. - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
F01B 900
US Classification:
92140, 403 79
Abstract:
A bearing system for accommodating angular movements occurring during operation of a linear actuator in a lifting structure for a ladle containing liquid steel in a continuous casting installation. Annular bearings on a piston and in an end wall of a piston and cylinder assembly allow free rotation of the piston about a first axis during controlled excursions of translating motion by the piston along the cylinder. A first attachment shaft is joined by cylindrical bearings to the arms of a first clevis for only sliding rotational motion about a second axis. A second attachment shaft secured to a second clevis carries a cylindrical bearing between the clevis arms for only sliding rotational motion about a third axis parallel with the second axis. A saddle is secured to an attachment on the piston rod and having an elongated annular load-bearing surface defining a fourth axis extending along a force transmitting junction with the first attachment shaft. A second pivot block anchored for support by the actuator support base has an elongated annular load-bearing surface defining a fifth axis extending along a force transmitting junction with the cylindrical bearing of the second attachment shaft.
Synchronized Oscillator For Continuous Casting Apparatus
US Patent:
6065527, May 23, 2000
Filed:
Jun 5, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/092535
Inventors:
Michael Poran - Westwood NJ
Anthony E. Scotto - Pittsburgh PA
Anthony E. Scotto - Pittsburgh PA
Assignee:
SMS Concast Division of SMS Schloemann-Siemag Inc. - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
B22D 11053
US Classification:
164478
Abstract:
A mold table for the continuous casting of large strands has two separate parts. The mold table parts are coupled to opposite ends of an elongated rigid rotatable member by respective linkages. A drive oscillates the rotatable member which, in turn, constrains the mold table parts to oscillate synchronously.
Split Roll For Continuous Casting
US Patent:
5928122, Jul 27, 1999
Filed:
Oct 20, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/954406
Inventors:
Anthony E. Scotto - Pittsburgh PA
Assignee:
SMS Concast Division of SMS Schloemann-Siemag Inc. - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
B23P 1500
US Classification:
492 16
Abstract:
A split roll has several separate roll bodies which are arranged side-by-side axially of the roll. Adjoining roll bodies are mounted in a bearing assembly which includes a bearing for each of the roll bodies. The two bearings for a pair of adjoining roll bodies are located in a common housing which is overlapped by the respective roll bodies.
