Interlocking of gears for adjusting roller clearance

Interlocking of gears for adjusting roller clearance

This application has been adopted into commercial offset printers. An offset printer prints each color while paper is fed between several pairs of rollers. It is necessary to adjust the gaps between rollers according to the thickness or quality of paper by using a complicated link mechanism of gears. Since such adjustment requires extremely high accuracy, the Power-Lock which allows connection without backlash has been used.
