Abstract

A support for a tension roller is comprised of two cup-shaped sleeves, oriented with their open ends in the same direction, and with an inner one of the cup-shaped sleeves extending into the other of the cup-shaped sleeves. The outer end of the inner cup-shaped sleeve is outwardly flanged, to define a clamp between the flange and the open end of the other cup-shaped sleeve for holding the inner ring of the tension roller bearing. The bottoms of the two cup-shaped sleeves are initially spaced, and are drawn together upon tightening of a mounting screw extending therethrough into a machine frame, in order to clamp the inner bearing ring between the flange and the open end of the other cup-shaped sleeve.
