The present invention eliminates backlash between a drive helical gear and a driven helical gear and facilitates rotation of a driven gear member to increase rotational accuracy of a plate cylinder. A plate cylinder drive unit includes a plate cylinder drive shaft, a driven gear member having a driven helical gear that meshes with a drive helical gear and attached around the plate cylinder drive shaft, a position adjustment member moving the driven gear member to fix it at a predetermined position, a whirl-stop member attached to the plate cylinder drive shaft, a sandwiching member removably fixing the whirl-stop member to the driven gear member, a backlash eliminating helical gear disposed on one side of the driven helical gear, first springs bringing the backlash eliminating helical gear in pressure-contact with the driven helical gear, and second springs biasing the backlash eliminating helical gear to rotate it in a predetermined direction.
