In the case of a method for detecting a tensile stress of a circumferential belt (5), this is deflected around a tension roller (4). In this way, the running length of the circumferential belt (5) is changed by adjusting the tension roller (4). A force measuring device (10) is provided, wherein the force measurement changes along with the adjustment path (6) of the tension roller (4). In order to make a reliable tensile stress detection possible, the sensitivities of the force measuring device (10) are determined with respect to the tensile stress for different points of the adjustment path. These sensitivities or calculated values are stored in a memory (32), which a controller (15) accesses. This calculates the tensile stress from the current adjustment path (6), the current bearing force and the stored sensitivities or values by means of interpolation.

A tissue machine (1) has a Yankee (3) and a shoe roll (4) that forms a nip with the Yankee (3). The nip has a maximum extension from an entry point (7) to an exit point (8). A flexible belt (9) forms an outer circumference of the roll (4). A fabric (10) carries a fibrous web (W) to the nip and passes through the nip with the web. The fabric (10) reaches the circumference of the roll (4) at a first contact point (11) and wraps the roll (4) from the first contact point to the nip. A mechanical support (12) inside the belt (9) supports the belt (9) between the first contact point (11) and the nip. The fabric (10) wraps the roll (4) from the first contact point (11) by more than 80°. The invention also relates to a method of operating the machine.

A screen support rod for screen drawing into a paper machine, the screen support rod including a support tube made from carbon fiber composite material; a telescoping rod; and a bearing that supports the telescoping rod axially movable in an interior of the support tube, wherein the support tube includes a shrink tube that forms a surface that supports the screen during the screen drawing.

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.
