Abstract: An apparatus and method for reducing oscillations in a web-fed rotary press are disclosed. The apparatus includes a form cylinder of a web-fed rotary press, having at least one clamping device for fastening at least one printing plate on the form cylinder. The clamping device has at least one clamping element which is positioned in a clamping channel. As seen in a circumferential direction, the clamping channel of the form cylinder has an effective clamping-channel width of at most 7 mm.

Abstract: A blanket clamping device for clamping a blanket mounted on a transfer cylinder of an offset rotary printing machine. The blanket is clamped by clamping rails mounted at an angle relative to each other in the clamping duct. In the middle between the clamping rails is arranged at least one screw which is screwed into the body of the transfer cylinder and has a truncated cone-shaped head. The clamping rails each have a step on a surface facing the at least one screw. Movement of the clamping rails out of the clamping duct is prevented by engagement of the steps with the truncated cone-shaped head.
