Device for pivoting a roller for a moving web

A method and a device for compensating and equalizing the tension forces across the width of a moving web makes use of a tension compensation roll, which is pivotably supported, and rotatable around a pivotal axis. In the presence of a difference in the tension force across the width of the moving web, the tension compensation roll is pivoted via gears with teeth to an extent such that the tension forces in both halves of the web are equalized.

For guiding webs of paper or cardboard, a guide cylinder extending across half of the web grips onto the surface of the web and achieves moving corrections on the webs by rotation or swinging. The long, linear support zone of the guide cylinder causes a high mechanical stress, whereby the guide cylinder exerts almost no corrective effect in its center zone. By dividing the guide cylinder into at least two spaced-apart, parallel guide rolls having their axes disposed perpendicular to the running direction of the material web, a suitable larger effective area is obtained for correction of the direction of movement.
