The invention relates to a roll arrangement (100) comprising a roll (1, 1') which has an axle (2) or shaft (6) received on a bearing (T). Said arrangement comprises a roll body (5, 5') defining the working periphery of the roll (1, 1') and being rotatable about an axis of rotation (D), and an electromotive direct drive (50) the rotor (13) and stator (15) of which is arranged between the bearing (T) and the roll body (5, 5') in the direction of the axis of rotation (D). The stator (15) is subdivided into stator segments (17) in at least one plane (E) that is parallel or at an angle to the axis of rotation (D). The stator segments (17) are received such that respective first ends thereof can be swiveled about hinge axes (S) that extend approximately in parallel to the axis of rotation (D).
