Method and device for suppressing vibrations in a printing press

A method of suppressing vibrations in a printing press, which comprises:

• providing a mass vibrating freely with one degree of freedom on at least one element of the press;
• determining a rotational speed of the press and supplying the determined rotational speed to a control device;
• and
• determining an actuating variable in the control device utilizing the rotational speed and supplying the actuating variable to at least one actuator, at least one vibration parameter of the mass being changed by the actuator dependent upon the rotational speed.

A device for suppressing vibrations in a printing press having at least one element, comprising

• a freely vibrating mass vibrating freely with one degree of freedom to be coupled to the at least one element, said mass having at least one vibration parameter;
• a rotational speed measuring configuration for determining a rotational speed of the press;
• an actuator connected to said mass for changing said vibration parameter;
• and
• a control device connected to said rotational speed measuring configuration and to said actuator.

In a printing press having at least one element, a device for suppressing vibrations, comprising

• a freely vibrating mass vibrating freely with one degree of freedom coupled to the element, said mass having at least one vibration parameter;
• a rotational speed measuring configuration for determining a rotational speed of the press;
• an actuator connected to said mass for changing said vibration parameter;
• and
• a control device connected to said rotational speed measuring configuration and to said actuator.
