Shaft
Pressure Roller
Upward pressure on the shaft pushes up the bearings.
The bearings apply pressure between hot roller and
pressure roller.
Slide 222
PRESSURE CONTROL MECHANISM
This slide shows the shaft running through the centre of the pressure roller.
The bearings apply upward pressure near the centre of the pressure roller.
This is different from most copiers. Pressure is normally applied between
the ends of the shaft.
The bearings are fixed in position with e-rings. There is no field service
adjustment for the bearing position.
