Abstract

The invention relates to a roll, including a roll tube that is supported exclusively, at least in radial direction, in an axially central area on a continuous roll support, whereby outside of the central area the roll tube is positioned at a distance A from the roll support, thereby permitting a deflection of the roll tube relative to the roll support.The invention is further characterized in that the roll tube is equipped with increased weights on both ends in order to create a deflection component in the respective ends due to the respective effective additional weight.
