Deflection controlled roll with force generating device

Abstract

Deflection controlled roll that includes a rotatable roll jacket, a rotationally fixed carrier arranged within the roll jacket, and a hydraulic support element arrangement positioned between the carrier and the roll jacket. A closed bearing ring is located in an end region of the roll jacket and is movable relative to the carrier in a press plane, and a bearing arrangement is positioned between the bearing ring and the roll jacket. The bearing arrangement includes at least two hydrostatic support elements which are mutually spaced in a peripheral direction and at least one of the at least two hydrostatic support elements is movable relative to the carrier. At least one force generating device is positioned between the carrier and the roll jacket and is arranged to act generally radially in the press plane. The at least one force generating device is located to radially penetrate the bearing ring.
