The geometrical axis flexure of the rotary vessel shell is one of the most serious
operating problems for this kind of objects.
The flexure phenomenon is extremely dangerous. At first sight - invisible, leads
to the carrying system overloads, causing e.g. excessive, cyclic loading on the
contact of rings with rollers. These excessive loads are the direct reason for rings
and rollers' raceways' cracks, and emergency damage of their shafts. Only in extreme
cases, the coat's flexure is visible in the form of the ring 'lifting' effect.
The rotary vessel coat's flexure can have
thermal (
temporal) or
mechanical
(
stable) character, depending on the cause of its formation.
The only antidote on the permanent flexure of the rotary vessel coat geometrical
axis, as so far, has been its expensive mechanical repair.
Laborious cutting stages, regulation and again joint assembly from the classical
method can be eliminated by application of the alternative thermal straightening
solution.
