Claim:
A device for setting a brush ( 1 ) on to a roll ( 2 ) for shaping or guiding strip material, for example in rolling stands or strip guiding devices, comprising: a pivoting lever ( 12 ), on whose one end the brush ( 1 ) is mounted such that it can rotate and is preferably parallel to the roll ( 2 ), and on whose other end the pivoting lever ( 12 ) is mounted such that it can rotate about a pivot axis ( 10 ); and a setting device ( 3 ) for setting the brush ( 1 ) against the roll ( 2 ) with a setting force, characterized in that the setting device ( 3 ) for the brush ( 1 ) comprises at least one adjusting element ( 5 ) that is arranged such that it can rotate in relation to the pivoting lever ( 12 ), and a force transmission element ( 4 ) for forming an operative connection between the pivoting lever ( 12 ) and the adjusting element ( 5 ); a monitoring device ( 7 ) is provided to monitor the angel of rotation of the adjusting element ( 5 ) in relation to the pivoting lever ( 12 ); and a control loop ( 6 ) is provided in order to keep the setting force of the brush ( 1 ) against the roll ( 2 ) constant to a predefined intended force F 0 by readjusting and keeping constant the angle of rotation monitored by the monitoring device ( 7 ), via at least one actuating element ( 8 ).
