Drive Device for an Eccentric Bearing, and Corresponding Calender

The invention relates to a drive device for an eccentric bearing for radially deflecting a roller mounted therein, the eccentric bearing comprising a bore which is oriented in an axial direction and intended for accommodating a roller journal of a roller, and the eccentric bearing comprising an outer eccentric bushing and an inner eccentric bushing which is partially inserted into the outer eccentric bushing and has the bore, such that the eccentric bushings have an axial overlap region, characterized in that at least one of the eccentric bushings has a free end outside the overlap region, which free end is coupled to a drive unit via which the at least one eccentric bushing is rotatable about the axial direction in order to adjust a radial axial deflection of the bore with respect to the other eccentric bushing. The invention also relates to a corresponding calender.

Electron beam inspection system

There is provided an electron beam inspection system which can enhance the safety of the whole system if servo valves are deactivated in the event of a power failure or an emergency stop. The electron beam inspection system has a beam source, a stage mechanism, and a pump. The stage mechanism has a guide shaft, a slider, a first servo valve, a second servo valve, a first exhaust pipe, a second exhaust pipe, and an exhaust valve. The slider is movably supported to the guide shaft via a hydrostatic bearing and has a first pressure subchamber and a second pressure subchamber. The exhaust valve is mounted in the first exhaust pipe. When the servo valves are in operation, the exhaust valve is opened. When supply of electric power to the servo valves is ceased, the exhaust valve is closed.

Sending mail

This invention provides a paper feed roller that can suppress poor paper feeding over a long period of time. The paper feed roller 10 includes a shaft 12 and an elastomer layer 14 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft 12. The portion having the elastomer layer 14 has a first outer diameter portion 10a with an outer diameter one size smaller and a second outer diameter portion 10b with an outer diameter larger than the first outer diameter portion 10a. An inclined portion 10c is provided between the first outer diameter portion 10a and the second outer diameter portion 10b to connect the first outer diameter portion 10a and the second outer diameter portion 10b, so that the outer diameter changes in the axial direction. The inclined portion 10c accounts for more than 3% and less than 80% of the portion having the elastomer layer 14. The difference in outer diameter between the first outer diameter portion 10a and the second outer diameter portion 10b is more than 50 μm and less than 1000 μm. A plurality of protrusions 14a forming surface irregularities are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the elastomer layer 14. The surface roughness Rz in the first outer diameter portion 10a is more than 50% and less than 200% of the height difference between the first outer diameter portion 10a and the second outer diameter portion 10b.
