The invention relates to an arrangement of springs for drives of oscillating systems within oscillation systems in sheet-guiding cylinders of printing machines. The object of arranging springs for drives of oscillating systems within oscillation systems in the sheet-guiding cylinder outside the pivot of the gearing is achieved in that a known torsion bar spring is assigned to the suction oscillator via a coupled gear, said torsion bar spring being connected to the oscillation shaft by one end via a second gear stage and by the other end via a first gear stage and being arranged coaxially with the oscillation shaft. <IMAGE>
