Abstract
A deflection compensated roll has a stationary support structure and a shell rotatably arranged around it by means of slide bearings. The shell is additionally supported on the support structure with hydraulic loading devices by which the axial profile of the shell can be controlled. In the procedure, at least the pressure acting in the main bearing elements of the slide bearings effective in oppsite directions in the nip plane is measured by conducting pressure data from a pressure space between a control valve associated with the main bearing elements and each main bearing element by means of measurement ducts outside the roll where the pressure data is passed to a pressure sensor.
