RE-AZ Series - Wire Rod Block Guides

Wire Rod Block Guides : RE-AZ Series

Description

Primarily used in the high-speed block of wire rod mills and some multi-strand slit rolling systems. Guide roller adjustment is achieved by a simple ‘pressure’ screw method. These guides are normally adjusted in the workshop, using a special setting device. These, setting, devices may be mechanical or optical. The speed range is from 10m/s to 120m/s dependent upon the type of bearing utilised. Guide roller materials vary widely with product velocity and required service.
