A device for recirculating oil from the end face of the barrel and the
peripheral surface of the roll neck of rolling mill rolls. A sealing race
arranged between the bearing elements and the end face of the barrel is
mounted on the roll neck. A first conical ring body has a conical outer
surface and a cylindrical inner surface that is seated on the outer
surface of the sealing race and is sealed from the race, whereby
inclination of the conical outer surface towards the end face runs
towards the roll axis. A second conical ring body is rigidly mounted in
the bearing housing and has a conical inner surface, which conical inner
surface is arranged some distance opposite the conical surface of the
first conical ring body, such that the two conical surfaces form a
hydraulic pump gap that conveys oil away from the end face.
