Abstract

Sheet guiding cylinder of a printing press includes a cylinder casing rotatable about an axis of rotation, and having an outer cylindrical surface defining a skeletal framework; the skeletal framework being formed by guide vanes extending in longitudinal direction of the sheet guiding cylinder and having a curved guide vane profile disposed in planes perpendicular to the axis of rotation, the guide vanes beginning from respective locations radially inward from the outer cylindrical surface and terminating substantially radially in an imaginary cylindrical envelope surface enveloping the outer cylindrical surface and being symmetrical with the axis of rotation.
