Calendering is the state‐of‐the‐art process for electrode compaction in lithium‐ion battery manufacturing through which the final electrode structure is defined. As the electrode structure determines the electrical und electrochemical transport properties, it is essential to develop a deep understanding of the interdependence between the calendering process and the deformation behavior of the electrodes. Therefore, a novel method for the investigation of the deformation behavior of electrodes, especially the springback (SB) effect, through direct‐gap detection within the calendering machine, is developed. With this installation, it is possible to directly access the maximum compression of the electrodes during calendering. With this approach, two different variations of cathodes, a variation of mass loading and a variation of binder weight content, based on lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC622), are manufactured and investigated. Moreover, an empirical model is introduced, allowing the estimation of the SB for NMC622 cathodes considering different mass loadings and cathode compositions. Due to more space for particle rearrangement, cathodes with higher mass loading show a lower SB effect. Adding binder leads to higher plastic deformation and thus lowers also the SB effect of the electrodes.
