Abstract:
An apparatus for correcting the deflection of an elongated rotating cylindrical carrier having opposed first and second ends, the cylindrical carrier being at least loaded by the weight of the cylindrical carrier, said apparatus comprising:a first rigid frame being arranged for placement in the region of a first end of the cylindrical carrier, said first rigid frame including two first spaced apart bearings to support the cylindrical carrier; a second rigid frame being arranged for placement in the region of a second end of the cylindrical carrier, said second rigid frame including two second spaced apart bearings to support the cylindrical carrier; a first place of application for the introduction of a first additional loading force into said first rigid frame, wherein said first place of application of said first additional loading force is axially offset from said two first bearings, and wherein said first place of application of said first additional loading force is axially displaced from between said two first bearings; and a second place of application for the introduction of a second additional loading force into said second rigid frame, wherein said second place of application of said second additional loading force is axially offset from said two second bearings, and wherein said second place of application of said second additional loading force is axially displaced from between said two second bearings.
