impinge on each other substantially perpendicularly the contact oscillation damping can also be used successfully in a roll arrangement such as shown in fig2 fig2 shows a two roll applicator with two applicator rolls 1 and 2 and additional transfer rolls 13 and 14 rolls 13 and 14 counterrotate relative to the applicator rolls and also form with the latter nips n filled with liquid the material web b proceeds here through the nip n between applicator rolls 1 and 2 in a direction other than in fig1 the applicator rolls can have substantially identical diameters the transfer rolls 13 and 14 each have a diameter smaller than that of the applicator rolls at least one appropriate actuator 10 or 11 can then be employed for vibration damping on at least one bearing of rolls 1 2 13 or 14 examinations in the nip between a movable and a fixed roll showed the following deflections oscillations which will be illustrated with the aid of the following fig3 and 5 the deflection was always determined in the center of rolls 1 and 2 i e where the deformation is the greatest with the form of oscillation examined here the deflection oscillation is plotted on the y axis in mm u00d7 10 u2212 2 while on the x axis.
