• This expanded or hardened material thus fills the space between the sleeve and the cylinder, which ensures the fixing of the sleeve on the support cylinder with a securing layer having this parabolic profile which makes it possible to compensate for the deflection of the cylinder during its use in a printing machine.
• the outer surface of the sleeve is cylindrical and has a constant thickness. Compensation of the deflection is therefore obtained for a given load, without having to give a particular shape to the external surface of the sleeve, which eliminates the drawbacks of the compensation systems known up to now.
• the compensation system is formed by the securing layer, it is obtained very simply, by securing the sleeve to the support cylinder.
• the deflection of the deflection is of course obtained first of all by varying the thickness of the securing layer along the axis of the support cylinder 1.
• the variable thickness between the internal surface of the layer 41 and the external surface of the cylinder 1, during the formation of the joining layer 42, itself generates a variation of the compression module in the layer 42.

• the joining layer 62 has on its outer surface 62a a cylindrical shape and on its inner face a conical profile complementary to the conical profile of the outer surface 10a of the support cylinder 10. Thanks to the particular profile of the support cylinder 10, there again is obtained a system for compensating for the deflection of the cylinder, by virtue of a variation in the thickness of the bonding layer in the axial direction and possibly a variation of the modulus of elasticity in this same axial direction.
• the invention is not limited to the embodiments which have just been described and, in particular, the layer of the sleeve which serves to compensate for the deflection of the cylinder could only have a modulus of elasticity variable in the direction axial, having a constant thickness.
• the sleeve could comprise a securing layer of variable thickness thanks to a support cylinder of variable diameter and also another layer inside the sleeve comprising a particular profile like the layer 52 described with reference to FIG. 4.
• the compressible layer 42, 52 or 62 is deformed in compression under the effect of the charges in the nip. This compressible layer is deformed more significantly at the ends of the sleeve than at its center, which compensates for the deflection of the cylinder by generating a uniform linear load.
• the assembly according to the invention could also include a deflection compensation system constituted by a chamber placed inside the sleeve, containing a pressurized fluid and having a suitable geometry.
• the assemblies according to the invention make it possible to compensate for arrows up to 4 mm.
• the main advantage of the compensation system provided in the sleeve according to the invention is that it makes the convex profile given to the sleeves known in the prior art unnecessary to obtain this deflection compensation. This results in a considerable simplification of the manufacture of the sleeve and therefore a reduction in cost.
• the sleeves are generally corrected several times to regenerate the work surface. These successive adjustments can lead to errors in the definition of the outer surface of the sleeve, which leads to inappropriate deflection compensation. This drawback is completely avoided with the invention since it is sufficient for the diameter of the sleeve to be constant.
• a compressible or simply expanded layer also makes it possible, if necessary, to compensate in a simple manner for the possibility of local overloads at the edge of the width of the product passing through the Nip or to protect the functional coating against accidental overloads.
• This layer acts in a way like a mechanical fuse which mechanically protects the machine on which the cylinder is mounted in case of passage of a foreign body in the Nip.
• a securing layer and, where appropriate, of a compressible polymer layer which can be made damping by means known per se, contributes to damping vibrations or the dynamic response in the event shock, the assembly consisting of the cylinder and the sleeve.
• the effectiveness of the cushioning polymer layer is greatly increased by the confinement of the latter between the rigid layers consisting respectively of the cylinder and of a support layer.
