Abstract
A printing machine with a cylinder sleeve (16), which can be rotationally driven and is supported at both ends with protruding axle journals (18) directly in the machine frame (10, 12), and with a shaft (22), which passes through the cylinder sleeve and can be driven along with it, such that the rotational driving takes place over the shaft (22) and the cylinder sleeve (16) can be set axially against a torque transfer element (28), which is seated on the shaft.
Claims18
A printing machine comprising:
- a rotatable cylinder sleeve which includes protruding axle journals at opposite ends thereof for supporting the cylinder sleeve directly in a machine frame,
- a shaft which passes through the cylinder sleeve and is driven along with the cylinder sleeve, with rotational driving taking place over the shaft, and
- a torque transfer element seated on the shaft and against which the cylinder sleeve is axially set such that the torque transfer element is effective to transfer torque from the shaft to the cylinder sleeve due to the cylinder sleeve being axially set against the torque transfer element.
