Printing groups comprising at least two cooperating cylinders and radially movable bearing units

A printing couple comprising:

• at least first and second cooperating cylinders, wherein at least the first one of the cylinders is configured as a transfer cylinder, and at least the second one of the cylinders is configured as a forme cylinder, each of said at least first and second cylinders having an axis of rotation and spaced support journals, the axis of rotation of the at least first and second cooperating cylinders forming a line of connection;
• a printing couple frame including spaced frame walls with each frame wall having an interior side;
• a plurality of bearing units each supporting a respective one of the support journals and that each is capable of displacing its respective one of the first and second cylinders radially, each of the bearing units being attached to the interior side of one of the spaced frame walls and facing a respective one of the at least first and second cooperating cylinders, each bearing unit having a linear bearing including linear elements, each linear bearing rotatably supporting a journal of one of the at least first and second cooperating cylinders, the linear elements supporting and guiding each respective linear bearing forming an angle of no greater than 15° with the line of connection;
• at least one hydraulic bearing unit actuator for each bearing unit of the respective ones of the at least first and second cylinders, the at least one hydraulic bearing unit actuator for each respective bearing unit being adapted to displace its respective linear bearing along the associated linear elements in a direction of adjustment that is oriented toward a print substrate being printed by the printing couple;
• at least one of an inking unit with at least one ink forme roller, and wherein the forme cylinder and the at least one ink forme roller of the inking unit engageable against one another, and a dampening unit having at least one dampening roller, and wherein the forme cylinder and the at least one dampening roller of the dampening unit engageable against one another, the at least one of the at least one ink forme roller and the at least one dampening roller having spaced roller ends;
• a support bearing supporting the ends of the at least one ink forme roller of the inking unit and the at least one dampening roller of the dampening unit, each such support bearing being capable of displacing its one of the respective ink forme roller and the respective dampening roller radially;
• at least one pneumatic support bearing actuator for each of the support bearings of the at least one of the at least one ink forme roller and the at least one dampening roller;
• and
• a control unit which is usable to at least one of control and regulation of the at least one hydraulic bearing unit actuator of each bearing unit of the cylinder, and the at least one pneumatic support bearing actuator of each support bearing unit, wherein the respective at least one pneumatic support bearing actuator of each support bearing and the at least one hydraulic bearing unit actuator of each bearing unit is each remotely actuable, and wherein the same control unit at least one of controls and regulates the respective at least one pneumatic support bearing actuator of the support bearing and the respective at least one hydraulic bearing unit actuator of the bearing units.
