Abstract
Contact roller systems comprising several hollow cylindrical roller segments ( ) that are mounted next to each other on the front face side in such a way that they can rotate freely on a continuous shaft ( ) are already known per se in winding machines. According to the invention, the internal bearing parts of a roller segment ( ) terminate on at least one axial end at a distance ( ) from the front face of the roller segment ( ). A free space is thus formed, whereby parts of a support bearing ( ) which supports the shaft ( ) and/or parts of an adjusting lever ( ) can be arranged therein. The support bearing ( ) and/or the adjusting lever ( ) have an annular groove ( ) in which the end of the roller segment ( ) can rotate in a contactless manner. It is possible to keep the gap between two adjacent roller segments ( ) as small as possible in order to avoid markings, while still allowing the support bearing ( ) and/or adjusting lever ( ) to act.
