Abstract
A shaft mounting and loading arrangement includes a shaft rotatably mounted within a frame of an imaging machine by a pair of spaced mounting bearings. A belt is entrained on the shaft between the bearings. The belt applies a belt load to the shaft along an axially length thereof. Loading is applied to the shaft at locations axially flanking the bearings to counteract deflection of the shaft caused by the belt load applied by the belt.
