METHOD FOR REPAIRING A ROLLER, AND ROLLER

摘要

The invention relates to a method for repairing a printing cylinder that comprises a cylinder base body (10) consisting of plastic, particularly a plastic composite material. Bearing mount elements (16) are inserted into the two end regions (14) of the cylinder base body, said bearing mount elements (16) being connected to the cylinder base body (10) by means of adhesion. Inner surfaces (24) of the bearing mount elements (16) can be damaged as a result of high amounts of stress occurring during operation of the printing cylinder. The damaged bearing mount elements (16) are hollowed by boring, on their inner surfaces (24). A bushing (32, 44) is subsequently inserted into each of the bearing mount elements (16). The inner surfaces (36) of the bushings (32, 44) are able to receive outer bearing rings (26) of the roller bearings that carry the printing cylinder. In addition, the invention relates to a printing cylinder comprising an inserted bushing (32, 44).
