Elastically flexible roll with horizontal pressure support - in end areas to cause elliptical deformation of roll cross-section and prevent high side pressure on workpiece

摘要

Roller arrangement using a flexibly adjustable roller (1) and a counter roller (7) in which the flexible roller besides containing a row of hydraulic support elements (5) which apply internal forces to the roll cover (3) in a pressure plane (E) also contain support element (6) in the end areas (18) of the roll cover which apply pressure in a direction (F) which is approx. perpendicular to plane (E). USE/ADVANTAGE - Pressing paper, pulp or other fibre materials as well as rolling metal or plastic for a sheet. The side support elements can cause an eliptical roll shape which helps avoid high side pressing forces on the material being rolled.
