A roller assembly for use as a back-up roller for work rolls. The roller assembly comprises an axle, a roller rotatably mounted on the axle, a plurality of bearing elements rotatably positioned between the axle and roller, and at least one bushing which is eccentric to the axle and which is fixedly mounted on the axle. The eccentric bushing is rotatable for translating the roller in a radial direction thereof. In order to rotate the bushing in one of opposite circumferential directions, preferably, force is applied to a respective one of a pair of terminal ends of a groove which extends circumferentially in a radially outer surface of the eccentric bushing. Each of the axle and roller, which serve as inner and outer races respectively, preferably has a thickness radially of at least about 1 inch to provide high bearing capacity.
