A bearing block assembly for bearing a pair of rollers which enclose a nip, at one end of the pair, includes two bearing blocks, each of which is intended for bearing a respective roller and which are provided with supporting elements for supporting in a frame. The bearing blocks each have a bearing aperture with a center line or axis, support elements via which the bearing blocks are supported next to one another in such that the center lines or axes of the bearing apertures extend parallel and at a distance from one another, as well as adjusting element via which the mutual distance between the center lines or axes can be adjusted. The support elements include a spring structure which is situated between the bearing blocks and cooperates with both bearing blocks and which is elastically deformable during adjustment of the mutual distance between the center lines or axes.
Bearing block assembly (3) for bearing a pair of rollers (6) which enclose a nip (8), at one end of said pair, comprising two bearing blocks (10), each of which is intended for bearing a respective roller (6) and which are provided with supporting elements (27) for supporting in a frame (1, 2, 4, 28), which bearing blocks (10) each have a bearing aperture (11) with a centre line or axis (12), support means (13-17) by means of which the bearing blocks (10) are supported next to one another in such a manner that the centre lines or axes (12) of the bearing apertures (11) extend parallel and at a distance from one another, as well as adjusting means by means of which the mutual distance between the centre lines or axes can be adjusted, wherein the support means comprise a spring structure (13, 30) which is situated between the bearing blocks (10) and which cooperates with both bearing blocks (10) and which is elastically deformable during adjustment of the mutual distance between the centre lines or axes (12), and wherein the bearing blocks (10) and the spring structure (13, 30) form part of an integrally formed bearing body (18) which is made from metal material and which, in the area situated between the bearing apertures (11) thereof, comprises slots (14, 15) which open on opposite surfaces (16), viewed in the direction of the centre lines or axes (12), of the bearing body (18), which slots (14, 15) enclose at least one leaf spring (30).
