Abstract: A device for regulating the tension of a moving web of material, in particular a web of paper in a paper-working machine such as a corrugating machine, comprises a machine frame; a first roller that is mounted for rotation about a first axis of rotation in relation to the machine frame, taking up a web of material by an angle of contact a; and a supporting device, which supports itself on the machine frame, and which is mounted for pivoting about the first axis of rotation by a pivoting drive, and which supports at least a second roller mounted for rotation about a second axis of rotation that is substantially parallel to the first axis of rotation; wherein the angle of contact a of the web of material on the first roller is modifiable by the at least one second roller being pivoted about the first roller.
