intermediate rolls

Intermediate Rolls function as the critical transition elements within multi-roll leveling and Tension Leveler.

Positioned between the Work Rolls and back-up rolls, they serve to redistribute concentrated rolling forces and mitigate deflection across the roll gap.

By absorbing and dissipating localized stress peaks, these rolls prevent overload damage to the smaller work rolls while ensuring uniform contact pressure distribution. Their optimized diameter-to-length ratio enhances structural rigidity without compromising flexibility, effectively suppressing edge wave and center buckle defects. Consequently, intermediate rolls play a decisive role in maintaining gauge accuracy and extending the entire roll stack service life.
