Strip Shaft: V-Way

Load your roll onto this full-length Strip Air Shaft and experience the perfect combination of balance and torque. These advanced shafts have a two-piece expanding element body design, non-metallic retraction springs, durable poly bladder, and a fail-safe multi-circuit air system, with check valves to ensure that a loss of air in one element will not affect the expansion and performance of the other elements.

Strip Shaft is designed for medium- to heavy-duty in 3" (76mm) to 6" (152mm) ID cores. This shaft's full-length strip design delivers full length grip and excellent torque characteristics, making it ideal for medium- to heavy- duty unwind and rewind applications.

Advanced strip design delivers ideal combination of balance and torque.

• Two-piece expanding elements can be changed easily, without even removing the shaft from the machine.
• Journal detail can be customized to fit existing equipment.
• Available in many sizes to accommodate any converting application.
• Faster, easier shaft handling maximizes productivity.
• Durable construction designed to withstand abuse and abrasion.
• Manufactured to your specifications.

Options:

• Side, end or dual valves
• Rotary union and remote valves
• Cantilevered support mounting
• Aluminum, steel or alloy bodies
• Corrosion resistant finishes

Quick jumbo roll changes without tools. Easily replaces existing reel spools (often utilizing existing machine and/or shaft components). Increase critical speeds and run heavier rolls without increasing core diameter. Load capacity is equal or greater than steel; wind larger rolls without increasing hoisting requirements. Easy, quick, and inexpensive to replace bladders and/or protective strips. Convenient air operation – one valve supplies all bladders, but bladders react individually to guarantee roll security. Reduced deflection and minimized vibration.
