A roll device as a spreader roll has a rotating hollow roll tube which at the ends thereof is rotatably mounted by means of bearing ends which are mounted in rotary bearings. The roll device has a tension element which runs so as to be eccentric to the central longitudinal axis of the roll tube through the roll tube and by internal tension toward the ends of the roll tube is impinged by a force with pressure. As a result, the roll tube is capable of being bent by way of an impingement of the tension element with a force, the deflection being transversely away from the longitudinal extent of said roll tube, if the tension element is tensioned in relation to the roll tube in an axial direction.

The invention relates to a roller for producing a fibrous web, in particular a paper web including a rotationally symmetrical base body which is rotatable about a longitudinal axis and has a shell surface on which there are arranged at least two elastically deformable and/or deflectable ring-shaped lamellas which extend away from the shell surface in the radial direction and which surround the base body in the circumferential direction, wherein the lamellas are arranged at least in sections at an angle relative to a center plane of the roller aligned perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the roller, thus forming an angle of inclination.
