Method and device for reducing vibrations on rotating parts, and vibration-damped rotating part

A method for reducing vibrations of at least two rotating components rolling off against each other including:

• providing a substantially circular contour of an effective surface area on at least one of said at least two rotating components;
• providing at least one raised area projecting from said effective surface area;
• providing a value defining one of a status of a printing press utilizing said at least two rotating components and said vibration;
• and
• changing one of a height in a radial direction, and a relative position in a circumferential direction of said at least one raised area as a function of said value.

A device for reducing vibrations of at least two rotating components which roll off on each other comprising:

• a substantially circular contour of an effective surface area of at least one of said rotating components;
• at least one raised area projecting from said effective surface area;
• and
• means for changing at least one of a height of said raised area in a radial direction and a relative position of said raised area in a circumferential direction of said at least one rotating component.

A rotating vibration damped component comprising:

• a substantially circular contour of an effective surface area of said rotating component;
• a raised area projecting out of said effective surface area;
• and
• means for varying at least one of a height of said raised area in a radial direction and a relative position of said raised area in a circumferential direction of said rotating, vibration-damped component.
