Method for engaging and disengaging cylinders

摘要

The invention relates to a method for engaging and disengaging cylinders, in particular cylinders (03; 07) that are disposed in a line. According to the invention, in addition to the displacement required for engaging and disengaging the cylinders, steps are taken to at least reduce the relative tangential speed between the working outer surfaces of the cylinders that are to be engaged against one another or against an intermediate web (08). This is achieved by the release of, or impression upon a specific rotation.
