Pressure roller system for a winding machine

Abstract From the Canadian patent

In winding machines for producing rolls (3) pressure roller systems are known , which have a horizontal vertically movable cross-head (8) to which a series of freely rotatable and individually movable roll segments (9) are secured side-by-side and with bolts parallel to the cross-head (8). In addition there , are means for adjusting the pressure exerted by the roll segments (9) on the rolls (3). According to the invention, into the bearing of each roll segment (9) on the cross-head (8) is integrated a component which either increases the bearing pressure as the distance between the roll segment (9) and the crosshead with an application force increasing depending on the distance or …
