The invention relates to a cylinder in a rotary press, in particular, for interacting with a form cylinder for a gravure press. According to the invention, the cylinder is improved with regard to its variable adaptability by the provision of a linear drive located at the end of the cylinder between the fixed support and rotating outer surface. Said linear drive operates in a vertical radial direction upwards toward the inner ring of a roller bearing,

Cylinder

A rotogravure inking system utilizes an inking roller mounted in an ink trough and engageable with a printing cylinder. The inking roller exerts a pressure force on the printing cylinder through the use of torsion bars which are located wholly within the ink trough. A prestress can be applied to the torsion bars to impart the desired pressure force to the printing cylinder from the inking roller.
