Abstract:
A bendable cylinder (1, 2), especially a spreader for spreading a web-like material, said cylinder comprising a continuos tubular cylinder jacket (1) of composite material and a fixed shaft part (2) on which the cylinder jacket is rotatably mounted with at least two bearings (31, 32) at either end, and said cylinder additionally comprising a bending mechanism provided at either end of the cylinder jacket and comprising an adjusting part (5), such as an adjusting screw, for bending the cylinder jacket, which cylinder has an inner bushing part (33) fitted at least partially inside the cylinder at either end of it, the bending mechanism being fitted in said bushing part, so that, to bend and adjust the cylinder jacket (1), the angular position between a shaft portion (22) and the bushing part (33) is changed, and the bearings (31 , 32) at either end are fitted between the inner bushing part (3) and an outer bushing part (30) fixedly arranged inside the cylinder jacket, and the inner and outer bushing parts, the bending mechanism and the bearings form a module (3) that can be mounted as a single unit.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for measuring the diameter and/or the geometry of the diameter of a cylindrical object. The cylindrical object has a longitudinal axis and a cylindrical shell. The method comprises measuring in a contactless manner at a specific point in the direction of the longitudinal axis the momentary circumferential velocity of the cylindrical shell at specific time or the distance which the circumference of the cylindrical shell rotates, measuring revolutions of the cylindrical shell or the angle of rotation of the cylindrical shell simultaneously with the measuring of the momentary circumferential velocity at specific time or the distance which the circumference of the cylindrical shell rotates, and calculating the diameter of the cylindrical shell and/or the geometry of the diameter of the cylindrical shell at the specific point in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The present invention also relates to a measurement system for measuring the diameter and/or the geometry of the diameter of a cylindrical object and the use of the measurement system.
