Abstract: The invention relates to an extended nip roll 1 for use in a nip N through which a fibrous web W is to be passed. The roll has two axial ends 3, 4 and comprises a support beam 5 having an axial extension between the axial ends 3, 4 of the extended nip roll and a press body 6 with an axial extension and which press body 6 is substantially parallel with the support beam 5 as well as means 7 supported by the support beam 5 for causing the press body to move or expand radially outwards towards a counter roll 2 to form a nip N. The inventive roll also comprises a tubular flexible jacket 8 with two axial ends 12, 13, the tubular flexible jacket 8 forming a loop around the press body 6 and the support beam 5. At each end of the extended nip roll 1, there is an end wall 9, 10 which is rotatably journalled to allow each end wall 9, 10 to rotate about the support beam 5.
