Abstract

In a folding blade shaft of a folding cylinder of a drum folding apparatus, the drive shaft and spindle are connected so that the slanting of these parts does not cause any damage to the machine. To this end, the drive shaft and the spindle are connected to each other via a disk packet and centered by a radial rocker bearing.
