ABSTRACT:
A mandrel assembly for supporting demountable printing cylinders of different lengths. The assembly includes a tube receivable within the cylinder to be mounted and having journals joined thereto at either end. Encircling each journal are first and second expansible sleeves in side-by-side relation, the first set of sleeves fitting within the end heads of the shorter cylinder when it is mounted on the mandrel assembly, the second set of sleeves fitting within the end heads of the longer cylinder. Below each sleeve on the journal is a relieved zone defining an annular hydraulic chamber. A bore in the journal receives a piston and a tool-operated piston screw, the bore leading into an internal duct having a branch communicating with the hydraulic chamber. When the piston screw is turned in to advance the piston, the resultant hydraulic pressure is applied through the hydraulic chamber against the inner wall of the sleeve, causing the sleeve to expand and grip the cylinder head, thereby locking the cylinder to the mandrel assembly. When the piston screw is turned out, the pressure is released to permit removal of the cylinder.
