ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The disclosure is directed to improvement in stretch reducing mills utilized in the manufacture of seamless and welded tubing. The stretch reducing mill is well known in its general- ities, and the disclosure is directed to improvements in the con- struction of such mills in the interest of increasing the effi- ciency of operation and performance of the mill. The disclosure is directed in part to the construction of a multi-stand stretch reducing mill with improved arrangements for removably securing the individual mill stands in position. This includes a heavy, massive structural beam from which all of the individual mill stands are suspended and which additionally serves, when the mill is ready for operation, as a means for holding the mill stands in position. In the latter capacity, the beam contributes both in terms of its great weight and in terms of distributing clamping forces to the individual mill stands from a limited number of clamps. The mill also includes an improved arrangement for longi- tudinally clamping together a series of consecutive mill stands, using a combination of hydraulic clamping cylinders and a mechani- cal fail-safe system, enabling the advantages of hydraulic clamp- ing to be enjoyed while avoiding any serious consequences from untimely failure of hydraulic pressure. An additional feature of advantage included in the disclosure is an improved mechanism for effecting simultaneous coupling and decoupling of the indivi- dual mill stands to their respective individual drive motors.
