Abstract

A support roller assembly comprises a support roller formed at least in part as a hollow cylinder. At least two bearings are spaced from each other in the axial direction of the support roller and rotatably support the support roller. At least one cushioning element is disposed within the support roller in the axial spacing between the two bearings. The cushioning element includes at least one ring made of cushioning material that extends adjacent the inner surface of the support roller.
