According to an example, a photoconductive drum support comprises a receiving body to receive a photoconductive drum, a rear cup coupled to a first end of the receiving body, a locking member rotatably coupled to a projecting portion of the receiving body, and a front cup positioned to contact a second end of the receiving body. The locking member is movable between an unlocked position in which the front cup is movable along the projecting portion and a locked position in which the locking member is positioned to fix the front cup and the rear cup at a predetermined distance.

Photoconductive drum supports

A printing drum mounting system and method of assembling the mounting system. The mounting system comprising a rotatable shaft; a first mount and a second mount arrangeable on the shaft to clamp a printing drum therebetween, wherein the first mount comprises a first engaging surface to form a mating contact with a corresponding first end surface of the printing drum and the second mount comprises a second engaging surface to form a mating contact with a corresponding end surface of the printing drum; a double-walled flexure to flexibly mount the first engaging surface and the shaft, the flexure to provide the first engaging surface with a single degree of freedom of axial movement relative to the shaft and to maintain mating contact between the first engaging surface and the first end surface of the printing drum as the printing drum thermally expands and contracts; and a releasable fixing to align and rigidly engage the second engaging surface relative to the shaft.
