Roll End Supports and Sleeves For Leveller Cassettes
Small parts at the ends of the roll set that keep the rolls exactly where the cassette design puts them.
Axial drift in the roll set changes the cassette geometry quietly, and the symptom shows up as flatness variation long before anyone looks at the roll ends.

Why Plants Source Roll End Supports From Ascon
Two variants, one job.
Ceramic Bead Heads
Beads inlaid in the head handle rotating contact at the roll end where a plain steel face would wear or gall.
Designed For Bearing Assembly
Both variants are sized to be assembled with bearings, so the fit is correct rather than approximate.
Made To Sample
Sizes such as 29 by 51 mm and 38 by 100 mm are standard, and any other dimension is produced from your sample.
Application Scenarios
Positions in the cassette.
Both Sides Of The Roll Cassette
Restricting axial movement of the intermediate roll and the work roll.
Cassette Overhauls
Replaced together with rolls and bearings during a planned rebuild.
Maintenance Stock
Held as a set so a cassette rebuild is never delayed by a small part.
Roll End Supports Buying Questions
What do roll end supports actually do?
They are applied to both sides of the roll cassette and restrict the axial movement of the intermediate roll and the work roll.
What is the difference between the sleeve and the ceramic bead support?
The ceramic bead head handles rotating contact at the roll end. The plain sleeve suits positions where that contact surface is not required.
Which sizes are standard?
29 by 51 mm with ceramic beads and 38 by 100 mm with black coating. Other dimensions are produced to drawing or sample.
Are bearings included?
The parts are designed to be assembled with bearings. Tell us your bearing selection and we match the seat.
When should they be replaced?
During a cassette rebuild, or as soon as axial play appears in the roll set.
Can you supply them as part of a cassette kit?
Yes, most plants order them with the roll set so a rebuild is completed in one go.
