Abstract: A cylinder of a printing press is supported by bearings in side frames of the printing press. An inner ring of a radial bearing serves a journal of the cylinder which is arranged directly over a bearing agent in an outer ring thus enabling a radial movement of the journal. The outer ring is mounted, either directly or indirectly in an opening of the side frame. The radial bearing is arranged in a region of the outer ring, as viewed in an axial direction of the cylinder, which protrudes out of a frame alignment of the side frame toward the side of the cylinder. The bearing agent which enables radial movement of the cylinder is also arranged in a region of the outer ring protruding out of the frame alignment of the side frame toward the side of the cylinder.

Abstract: A cylinder, which is part of an inking system or of a dampening system, has a rotary individual drive which is embodied as a drive motor. A changeable drive is also provided. The rotary drive is driven by the drive motors by a bevel or angular gear.

Abstract: A printing form is either raised or is lowered by the use of a pressure device which includes a roller. The roller is arranged on a cross-beam in such a way that the roller can selectively be placed on, or taken off the forme cylinder, or a forme that is supported on the forme cylinder, by a device. The pressure device, or the cross-beam which supports the roller can be displaced in a manner such that the distance of the roller from the cylinder can selectively be increased.

Abstract: A printing machine is provided with a control panel for use in the printing machine's control. The control panel is located on one side of the printing machine which includes at least one printing unit which has at least one pair of cylinder. This at least one pair of cylinders are mechanically coupled to each other by a drive connection and are driven for rotation by a drive motor that is independent of other printing units. This drive motor and the drive connection are located on the control panel side of the printing unit.

Abstract: A printing blanket assembly for a blanket cylinder of a rotary printing press includes a dimensionally stable support plate, and a printing blanket fastened to the outside of the support plate. A leading end of the support plate and a trailing end of the support plate are fastened to the blanket cylinder by the provision of an angled or beveled, printing blanket free end. A filler is provided between the beveled end of the support plate and the inner edge of the leading and trailing ends of the printing blanket.

Abstract: A printing couple in a printing machine is comprised of at least three cylinders, a forme cylinder, a transfer cylinder and a counter-pressure cylinder. The counter-pressure cylinder forms a printing location or point in cooperation with the transfer cylinder. The transfer cylinder is mounted in at least one lever which can be pivoted about an eccentrically pivoting axis in relation to the rotational axis of the forme cylinder. When the three cylinders are in a print position, a connecting plane through the axis of rotation of the forme cylinder and the pivoting axis of the lever forms an angle of between 25° and 65° with a plane through the axis of rotation of the cylinder forming the printing point.

Abstract: A printer includes a cylinder pair that consists of a forme cylinder and a transfer cylinder. A satellite or steel cylinder forms a print position as it cooperates with the transfer cylinder of the cylinder pair. The form cylinder and the transfer cylinder are a fixed coupling driver assembly which is driven by a common drive motor. The drive assembly of the cylinder pair and a drive system for the satellite or steel cylinder can be selectively mechanically coupled with each other by use of a coupling.

Abstract: A printing unit is comprised of a pair of cylinders, such as a forme cylinder and a transfer cylinder. These two cylinders, together with a third cylinder, form a printing site. The third cylinder is in contact with the transfer cylinder. The forme cylinder and the transfer cylinder are coupled together and form a drive system which is driven by a common drive motor during the printing process. Power is transmitted from the transfer cylinder to the forme cylinder. The drive system for the cylinder pair and a drive for the third cylinder are coupled to each other by a mechanical coupling for selective coupling and decoupling.
