    Abstract: Roller packages (IO) for grinding devices (70), comprising a first roll (11), which is maintained by at least one first bearing body (13), and a second roll (12), which is maintained by at least one second bearing body (14). The first bearing body (13) and the second bearing body (14) are prestressed against each other and comprise stop elements (17,19) with stop surfaces (18, 20), the contact of which counteracts a contact of the rolls (11, 12).
