An elastic clamping ring for an enclosed shoe press roll used to clamp the jacket to the gables of the shoe press roll is disclosed. A rigid clamping ring is arranged on the inner side of each gable to form a groove which opens outwardly in the radial direction and in which the elastic clamping ring is received. A stop member is arranged radially outside the elastic clamping ring. By operation of securing members, the rigid clamping ring is forced in the direction of the peripheral gable part in order to squeeze the elastic clamping ring such that it expands outwardly in the radial direction and clamps the edge of the jacket between itself and the stop member. The invention also relates to a shoe press roll that uses an elastic clamping ring with a hexagonal cross section for clamping of the jacket of the shoe press roll to the gables of the shoe press roll.

Clamping ring for an enclosed shoe press

A press roll intended, together with a press shoe, to cooperate with a counter roll to form a press with long nip for paper or board machines, said press roll comprising two end walls, a jacket, the edge portions of which are secured by an elastic clamping ring to peripheral parts of the end walls, a form-stable clamping ring being screwed to the inner side of the end-wall part to clamp the outwardly expandable elastic clamping ring so that the edge portion of the jacket is clamped firmly against a counter-support member. According to the invention each end wall includes guide means to provide a guided engagement relationship between the form-stable clamping ring and the end-wall part. The guide means includes one axially concentric guide groove in the form-stable clamping ring and an axial, concentric guide flange in the end-wall part for cooperation with the guide groove, the guide groove defining radially externally a radial clamping surface disposed opposite a corresponding clamping surface of the end-wall part for cooperating clamping of the elastic clamping ring.
