NIP WIDTH SENSING METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INDUSTRIAL ROLLS
A method of determining the width of a nip formed by an industrial roll and a mating structure includes: providing an industrial roll having a cylindrical core, a polymeric cover surrounding the core and a plurality of pressure sensors mounted in the roll. The industrial roll is positioned in contact with the mating structure to form a nip and the industrial roll is rotated. Pressure signals are received from the pressure sensors at a controller. The pressure signals are utilized to determine the width of the nip at locations on the roll. The pressure signals are used to determine the peak pressure for a sensor, two signals are identified that correspond to a pressure level that is less than the peak and a partial nip width is calculated from the two signals, and the partial nip width is multiplied by multiplier to determine an estimated nip width.

BOWED INDUSTRIAL ROLL WITH HIGH STRENGTH BEARING FOR END SPOOL
An industrial roll includes: a stationary axle (120) having a stepped profile and a bowed longitudinal axis, with a thicker internal section (124) and a thinner end section (122); an end spool (100) rotatably mounted on the axle (120); and a first thick ball bearing (117) and a second thin ball bearing (107), wherein the first ball bearing (117) is mounted between the spool (100) and the thin section (122) of the axle, and the second ball bearing (107) is mounted between the spool (100) and the thick section (124) of the axle.
An industrial roll includes: a substantially cylindrical core having an outer surface; a polymeric cover circumferentially overlying the core outer surface; and a sensing system. The sensing system includes: a first signal carrying member serially connecting a first set of sensors; a second signal carrying member serially connecting a second set of sensors; and a signal processing unit operatively associated with the first and second signal carrying members and configured to selectively monitor the signals provided by the first and second set of sensors.

An industrial roll includes: a substantially cylindrical metallic core; a rubber base layer that is adhered to and circumferentially overlies the core; a rubber top stock layer that circumferentially overlies the base layer; and a polyurethane coating that circumferentially overlies the top stock layer. In this configuration, the roll can provide improved abrasion-resistance, sheet release properties, and/or toughness compared to a roll with a rubber cover, but may provide these properties in a cover that is softer than a typical polyurethane cover.
