Claim:
An arrangement in connection with supporting a press roll, the press roll including a support shaft extending through a rotating roll shell in an axial direction and being supported using at least one bearing element in at least one bearing point to a support frame formed as a bearing block, and the arrangement comprising: at least one torque support for preventing the rotation of the support shaft, wherein the at least one torque support is arranged to at least one of the bearing points inside a bearing housing or equivalent, wherein the at least one torque support is arranged through the bearing element between the support frame and the support shaft and at least one counterbore or equivalent is arranged to the support shaft for accommodating an end of the torque support, wherein the end of the at least one torque support and the at least one counterbore of the support shaft are formed in shapes in order to lead forces from the support shaft via the at least one torque support to the support frame, and wherein a shape of portion of the at least one torque support is adapted so that the at least one torque support is able to rotate around an axis thereof, thereby enabling a deflection of the support shaft.
