<p>Load transfer rod columns (40) extending upwardly along slide blocks (29) of the bearing structures (25) of calender rolls have associated therewith hydraulically operated assemblies for acting on the bearing structures (25) whereby to selectively transfer to the rod columns (40) the overhanging deadweight of the bearing structures (25) when the rolls (13, 14) are in their nipping mode for maintaining the rolls (13, 14) in straight and parallel nip relation. The rod columns (40) thrust downwardly against a load supporting base (17), which conveniently comprises the slide blocks (17) of a king roll (12) at the bottom of the calender stack (10).</p> |
