This study introduces the results of scientific research and pilot testing of modernised automated electric drives of the plate mill stands. The experimental tests of electromechanical systems of the reversing stand of the mill 5000 showed the intolerable level of dynamic loads when biting. The problem of reducing dynamic loads and elastic vibrations in shaft lines was stated; it can be solved through enhancing the automated electric drive. The method for limiting loads through biting metal with accelerated rolls and compensating the dynamic component of speed was suggested. The functional diagram of the electric drive to implement the suggested method was designed. In order to study the suggested technical solution, the dynamic mathematic model of the mill stand electric drive with elastic coupling was developed. The results of modelling dynamic modes and experimental studies carried out on the mill 5000 were introduced. The operability and efficiency of the suggested solutions were substantiated.
