A socket for releasably supporting the journal of a roller in a printing machine is disclosed. In one embodiment, the socket includes: a mounting; an adjusting screw threadably received in the mounting; a locking lever rotatably coupled to the adjusting screw; and a spring element concentrically mounted on the adjusting screw between the locking lever and the free end of the screw such that turning the adjusting screw changes the degree of compression of the spring. The locking lever is coupled to the adjusting screw for movement between locked and unlocked positions. In the locked position, the locking lever is biased into engagement with the roller journal by the bias of the spring to secure the roller within the socket. In the unlocked position, the locking lever is pivoted out of engagement with the journal such that the roller can be easily removed and replaced.
