A plane is defined by the compensation roller axis and the roller stack roller axis. A bearing support is disposed in a frame. The bearing support receives a ball joint. The bearing support is movable relative to the frame to act as a lever. The bearing support pivots about a pivot point. A pressure transducer is disposed between the frame and the bearing support. The pressure transducer acts in a direction that is disposed exterior to the ball joint. The pressure transducer extends on both sides of the plane and acts perpendicularly to the plane.
