Abstract

A controlled deflection roll of the type having a rotative shell through which a non-rotative shaft extends axially so as to form a radial space between the shaft and the shell's inside and self-aligning end bearings journaling the shell to the shaft, and the shell's deflection controlled by internal pressure between the bearings in that space, has an arrangement for applying radial forces between the shell and the shaft on the axial outsides of the bearings so that the shell's deflection throughout its length can be more precisely controlled.
