A rolling mill comprising: a roll (710, 711, 720, 721) that is shifted in an axial direction; a bearing and four or more first cylinders (740, 740A, 741, 741A, 744, 745, 750, 751, 752, 752) that are provided on each of a drive side and a work side, the bearing on each of the drive side and the work side being configured to be shifted in the axial direction of the roll along with the roll and to receive a load from the roll, the four or more first cylinders on each of the drive side and the work side being configured to apply bending force vertically to the bearing and to cause the roll to perform bending; and a controller that drives the first cylinders on each of the drive side and the work side, wherein on each of the drive side and the work side, two or more first cylinders of the four or more first cylinders are provided on an entry side in a rolling direction and two or more first cylinders of the four or more cylinders are provided on an exit side in the rolling direction, the two or more first cylinders on each of the entry side and the exit side being aligned in the axial direction, and characterized in that on each of the drive side and the work side, the controller is configured to be able to choose to drive one of the two or more first cylinders on the entry side and one of the two or more first cylinders on the exit side such that resultant force thereof acts on a central portion of the bearing when the roll performs bending and when at least a center of the bearing is arranged between an axially outermost first cylinder and an axially innermost first cylinder in the first cylinders. a roll (710, 711, 720, 721) that is shifted in an axial direction; a bearing and four or more first cylinders (740, 740A, 741, 741A, 744, 745, 750, 751, 752, 752) that are provided on each of a drive side and a work side, the bearing on each of the drive side and the work side being configured to be shifted in the axial direction of the roll along with the roll and to receive a load from the roll, the four or more first cylinders on each of the drive side and the work side being configured to apply bending force vertically to the bearing and to cause the roll to perform bending; and a controller that drives the first cylinders on each of the drive side and the work side, wherein on each of the drive side and the work side, two or more first cylinders of the four or more first cylinders are provided on an entry side in a rolling direction and two or more first cylinders of the four or more cylinders are provided on an exit side in the rolling direction, the two or more first cylinders on each of the entry side and the exit side being aligned in the axial direction, and characterized in that on each of the drive side and the work side, the controller is configured to be able to choose to drive one of the two or more first cylinders on the entry side and one of the two or more first cylinders on the exit side such that resultant force thereof acts on a central portion of the bearing when the roll performs bending and when at least a center of the bearing is arranged between an axially outermost first cylinder and an axially innermost first cylinder in the first cylinders.
