Abstract: A printing unit of a printing press and a printing roller or an impression cylinder of a printing press is disclosed. The printing roller or the impression cylinder has a first and a second base element (1, 2) and a hollow cylinder (3) made of a fiber-reinforced material.

Abstract: A driven component, in particular a printing couple or folding unit, of a printing press, having several rotating elements, in particular cylinders or rollers, wherein at least two rotating elements are assigned to intermeshing drive gears, is disclosed. The drive gear of a first rotating element, which meshes with the drive gear of a second rotating element, is assigned a co-rotating gear, which is connected to the drive gear of the first rotating element via at least one spring element or bending element, which extends in the axial direction of the first rotating element. The co-rotating gear can be rotated with respect to the drive gear in such a way in the circumferential direction that a meshing between the two intermeshing drive gears that is affected in principle by backlash can be kept free of backlash.
