Abstract: A squeegee unit for a rotary screen-printing device comprises a squeegee (2) with a squeegee edge (3) which is designed, during operation of a rotary screen-printing device in which the squeegee unit is mounted, to be pressed onto the inner side of a cylindrical screen of the rotary screen-printing device, and a squeegee holder (1) in which the squeegee is mounted. The squeegee edge (3) can be moved away from the squeegee holder (1) and towards the squeegee holder. A resilient element (18) is arranged between the squeegee edge (3) and the squeegee holder (1), in such a manner that the squeegee edge is pressed away from the squeegee holder by spring force. The squeegee unit is provided with travel-limiting means which are designed in such a manner that the squeegee edge (3) can be moved over a relatively short distance of at most 1 mm and preferably of at most 0.5 from the working position in a direction away from the squeegee holder.
