Abstract
External bending of an inner shaft improves the performance of hydrostatic bearings in a controlled deflection roll arrangement. A deflection sensing member within the deflection roll sends signals through a control circuit to a biasing arrangement near the ends of the shaft that applies a force into the inner shaft, causing it to bend and counter any deflection in the roll.
