Apparatus for adjusting one of the bearing blocks of a roller

An apparatus for adjusting a bearing block of a rotating roller supporting a belt traveling in a given direction of motion, comprising:

• a final control element supporting a bearing block of a roller, the final control element being a carriage supported in a support frame and being movable relative to the support frame in the given direction of motion of the belt, for adjusting an angular orientation of the roller relative to the belt, wherein said carriage is a plate having a top and side faces, the bearing block being secured on said top, and including wheels supported on said side faces on which said carriage is drivable.

An improved apparatus for adjusting a bearing block of a roller in a group of rollers supported in a support frame, wherein the rollers support a moving endless belt in a paper-production system, wherein the bearing block is supported on a final control element which is adjustable relative to the support frame in a longitudinal direction of motion of the belt by means of an adjusting device, and an adjustment of the final control element causes a defined variation of an angular orientation of the roller supported in the bearing block relative to the longitudinal direction of the belt, the improvement which comprises:

• the final control element being a carriage having wheels attached thereto, and including an adjusting device for moving said carriage relative to the support frame.
