Abstract: A deflection compensated roll for a paper/board or finishing machine includes a stationary roll shaft (1), and a roll shell (2) structured and arranged to be rotatable around the same and mounted with slide bearing elements (3-6) upon the roll shaft (2). The slide bearing elements are provided with hydraulic fluid feeding means for loading the slide bearing elements with a hydraulic fluid. The roll is intended to form a nip together with a counter roll. The hydraulic fluid feeding device is provided with control elements, whereby the slide bearing elements (3, 4) acting in the direction of a nip load (F) are loadable in such a way that the roll shell (2) is able to perform a stroke relative to the roll shaft (1) radially of the roll or to remain substantially immobilized relative to the roll shaft (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a slide shoe assembly for a roll (1) in a paper/board machine or a finishing machine, said roll (1) comprising a stationary axle (4), around which is rotatably mounted a cylindrical roll shell (2), a clearance (5) formed between the axle (4) and an inner surface (3) oF the roll shell (2) being fitted with loading elements (11) operated by a pressurized hydraulic fluid and provided with slide shoes (10, 110) which are loadable against the inner surface (3) of the roll shell (2) for controlling the distribution of a nip pressure in a nip (N) established with a counter roll (9).

The bearing elements are hydraulically-operating piston-cylinder devices which may be loaded by a hydraulic pressure medium such that the bearing shoes are able to be positioned freely around the neck of the axle. In one preferred application, the bearing elements are arranged so as to enable displacement of the roll for closing and opening a nip formed in part by the roll.

Abstract: A bearing control system for a roll with hydrostatic bearings which is mounted by its axle on a bearing block or other equivalent frame member by hydraulically loaded hydrostatic bearing elements. A principal bearing element acts in a principal loading direction and another bearing element is a backup bearing element which acts in a direction opposite to the principal loading direction. The bearing elements include bearing shoes positioned freely around the axle in order to support the axle so that the roll revolves freely in relation to the bearing block or other frame member. The control system feeds a hydraulic pressure medium to the hydrostatic bearing elements so that the roll is displaceable in the principal loading direction, e.g., in the direction of the nip plane, by displacing the axle via the bearing elements.

Abstract: A variable-crown roll including a stationary roll axle, a tubular roll mantle rotatably mounted by its ends on the roll axle by end bearings and hydraulic loading shoes arranged between the roll mantle and the roll axle. The loading shoes act upon an inner face of the roll mantle in a direction toward a nip defined in part by the roll, are supported on the roll axle and are loaded by a hydraulic pressure medium. The nip pressure is profiled in the axial direction of the roll by regulating the pressure of the pressure medium passed into the loading shoes. The roll mantle is made of a fiber-reinforced composite material so that the stability of shape of the roll mantle in the direction of the circumference is good, i.e., it maintains its shape, and the rigidity in the axial direction is low, i.e., it is profitable.
