(54)	Adjustment device for rotary printing press

(57) The mounting of a printing cylinder (10) in a printing press includes sleeve bushings (52) mounted for angular rotation in opposed end frames (16) of the press with their longitudinal axes coincident. Each bushing (52) incorporates a bearing (50) for the support of a shaft (18) of the printing cylinder, the longitudinal axes of the shaft bearings (50) being coincident one with the other but spaced laterally from the longitudinal axes of the bushings. A rotary control shaft and linkage causes rotation of the bushings (52) by a determined angular extent producing movement of the printing cylinder (10) towards or away from a blanket cylinder (12) by an amount determined by the extent of angular rotation of the sleeves.
