A device for pressing together a first roll and a second roll in a coating unit for a two-dimensional application of a liquid to pasty application medium to a moving fiber material web, the first roll having a first roll body, the second roll having a second roll body, the first roll being arranged axially parallel to the second roll, at least one of the first roll and the second roll being movable relative an other of the first roll and the second roll, comprising:
- a force device arrangement for providing a force being transmitted at least partly in a force transmission path running from said force device arrangement to at least one of the first roll and the second roll, said force device arrangement producing a pressing force between the first roll and the second roll;
- at least one sensor registering said pressing force between the first roll and the second roll, said at least one sensor being arranged in said force transmission path, said at least one sensor being arranged outside the first roll body and the second roll body;
- and
- a stand connected to the second roll and a bearing lever connected to the first roll, a position of the second roll being fixed relative said stand, the second roll being rotatable, the first roll being rotatable, said bearing lever connected to said stand, said bearing lever being pivotable relative said stand to bring the first roll and the second roll together, said force device arrangement acting on said bearing lever.
