Abstract:
An arrangement for setting a distance between axes of rotation in a rotary printing press comprising:a first cylinder having a first cylinder journal and a first cylinder axis of rotation; a second cylinder; a first eccentric bushing supporting said first cylinder journal bushing for movement between a first print-on position and a second print-off position with respect to said second cylinder, said first eccentric bushing having a first axis of rotation and a first eccentricity; a second eccentric bushing supporting said first cylinder journal for changing a variable printing gap between said first cylinder and said second cylinder, said second eccentric bushing having a second axis of rotation and a second eccentricity, a ratio of said first eccentricity to said second eccentricity being less than six and greater than 2; and a third cylinder adjacent said first cylinder wherein a first straight line extending between said first eccentric bushing axis of rotation and said second eccentric bushing axis of rotation is parallel to a line connecting an axis of rotation of said first cylinder and an axis of rotation of said third cylinder.
