Abstract
A glide bearing for a roll having hydrostatic bearing elements provided with bearing shoes fitted to be positioned around a neck of the roll axle in order to support the axle and thus the roll revolvingly with respect to a frame member, such as a bearing block. The bearing elements are hydraulically-operating piston-cylinder devices which may be loaded by a hydraulic pressure medium such that the bearing shoes are able to be positioned freely around the neck of the axle. In one preferred application, the bearing elements are arranged so as to enable displacement of the roll for closing and opening a nip formed in part by the roll.
