Rolling mill stands support the shafts on which the rolls are carried, rotated, and adjusted, through the use of bearings. The size and shape of stands will depend on the type of rolling process, for instance, during the initial stages of rolling, roughing stands take steel from large coils and shape it to a specific thickness. This is then followed by one or more finishing stands, which further shape the product to its final desired size and shape. Increasing the amount of stands used along a rolling mill line can increase its capability and length, as it adds more components to work the metal, and can handle higher metal strengths.

FAQs
The type of stand pertains to the type of rolling mill; for instance, two, three, and four high rolling mills will use stands that respectively bear two, three, or four rolls in the specific configurations.
Other configurations include cluster mill stands, which house two work rolls and a further four or more backup rolls; planetary stands, which house two backup rolls and several planetary rolls; and a universal mill stand, which house two vertical and two horizontal rolls.
There are, of course, many other types of rolling mill stands and configurations.
