Abstract
A drive arrangement for cylinders, such as drying cylinders, in a paper machine of the type which comprises a number of cogwheels, such as gears, which intermesh to constitute a gear transmission. The cogwheels of the gear transmission are fitted within a casing situated on the side of the drying section of the paper machine, and in accordance with the invention, both the cogwheel shafts as well as the axle journal of the drying cylinder to be driven are rotatably mounted or journaled to the same casing. The casing in which the cogwheels are fitted is substantially trapezoidal in shape, preferably a 'regular' trapezoid (the non-parallel sides are substantially equal in length). Several such trapezoidally-shaped casings may be co-operatively mounted in the drying section to form a composite drive arrangement for the cylinders.
