A press roller has a stationary carrier (12) and a revolving cover (14) which is supported over its internal circumferential surface (16) by at least one compressible lubricated support element (18) on the carrier. The element has a surface (20) facing the cover's inner surface and extended in the cover's travel direction and several points (22) from which fresh lubrication oil is fed between the surfaces. The oil feed is achieved at least partly independently of the pressure chamber (19) acting on the support element. The support surface has at least one row (Ri) of such oil feed points extending in the direction of the roller axis, each point including a drill-hole (26) near which is a constriction.
