Abstract: A roller for a printing unit of a printing press, has a roller outer body, which is mounted on a roller inner body, so as to be movable axially in a reciprocating manner. For the axial movement of the roller outer body, in at least a first direction, a pneumatic drive is provided. The pneumatic drive has at least one first chamber, which is mounted in the interior of the roller in the manner of a cylinder/piston system between one or more structural elements, that are fixed to the roller outer body, and one or more structural elements that are fixed to the roller inner body. The chamber can be pressurized with compressed air. The parts of the structural elements adjoining the chamber, and that are movable axially relative to one another, form a non-contact seal between themselves on their mutually facing sides.

Abstract: A device coats one or more panels, printed by a coating means, which applies particularly a varnish or a primer. The device utilizes a forme roller which can be brought into rolling contact with the print stock to be coated, in the region of a contact zone, in order to coat the print stock on a side of the print stock facing the forme roller, and also utilizes a feed device supplying the forme roller with coating medium, which interacts, in the region of at least one contact zone on the circumference of the forme roller, with the forme roller, in order to continuously apply the coating medium, which is to be applied to the print stock, to a shell surface of the forme roller to an application width.
