Abstract
Abstract A roller, magnetically compensated and adjusted for deflection, has a non-rotating axle with ends having a load imposed thereat and a cylindrical shell rotatably supported by bearings on the axle. A magnetic core is formed in the axle and has in transverse section a plurality of pole shoes spaced from the shell by an air gap. A plurality of electromagnetic windings, each wound on the core at a corresponding one of the pole shoes, produce a magnetic force in a manner whereby the magnetic flux through the air gap between the pole shoes and the shell produces a compensating force field between the shell and the core.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
A roller magnetically compensated and adjusted for deflection, said roller having a non-rotating axle with ends having a load imposed thereat and a cylindrical shell rotatably supported by bearings on the axle, said roller comprising a magnetic core formed in said axle and having in transverse section a plurality of pole shoes spaced from said shell by an air gap, at least a part of said shell being made of magnetically conductive material; and a plurality of electromagnetic windings each wound on said core at a corresponding one of said pole shoes for producing a magnetomotive force in a manner whereby the magnetic flux through the air gap between the pole shoes and the shell produces a compensating force field between said shell and said core.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
126 words
A roller magnetically compensated and adjusted for deflection, said roller having a non-rotating axle with ends having a load imposed thereat and a cylindrical shell rotatably supported by bearings on the axle, said roller comprising a magnetic core formed in said axle and having in transverse section a plurality of pole shoes spaced from said shell by an air gap, at least a part of said shell being made of magnetically conductive material; and a plurality of electromagnetic windings each wound on said core at a corresponding one of said pole shoes for producing a magnetomotive force in a manner whereby the magnetic flux through the air gap between the pole shoes and the shell produces a compensating force field between said shell and said core.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
78 words
A roller as claimed in claim 1, wherein said core has in transverse section at least three pole shoes, including a pair of spaced pole shoes substantially opposite each other and a center pole shoe substantially equidistantly spaced from the pair of pole shoes, and said magnetic flux which produces the compensating force field passes through the center pole shoe of said core and is returned to said core via said shell and said pair of pole shoes.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
A roller as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transverse section of said core is substantially T-shaped.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
A roller as claimed in claim 2, wherein said center pole shoe actually produces the compensating force field and extends over the entire length of said axle.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
A roller as claimed in claim 2, wherein each of said pair of pole shoes consists of a plurality of separate spaced parallel pole shoes each having a corresponding one of said electromagnetic windings wound thereon.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
70 words
A roller as claimed in claim 2, wherein said axle has an axis coincident with the axis of rotation of said shell, said pair of pole shoes have a plane of symmetry passing substantially through said axis of rotation and said center pole shoe has a plane of symmetry substantially perpendicular to the plane of symmetry of said pair of pole shoes and passing substantially through said axis of rotation.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
33 words
A roller as claimed in claim 3, wherein said core has a sector greater than 180° and each of said pole shoes is spaced from said shell by a corresponding active air gap.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
57 words
A roller as claimed in claim 5, further comprising means for supplying magnetizing currents separately to each of said electromagnetic windings in a manner whereby the distribution of the linear pressure load in the nip between said roller and a mating roller is adjusted as desired by adjustment of the intensities and mutual relations of said currents.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
13 words
A roller as claimed in claim 7, wherein the sector is approximately 270°.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
31 words
A roller as claimed in claim 7, further comprising an insulating gap between said core and said shell at said sector and spaced from the air gaps of said pole shoes.
