New Shafts Products

Differential Shafts rewind low-tension material rolls.

With tension control as low as 0.1 PLI, Equalizer - D4 allows converters to run ultra-thin films. Its 2-row, 12-ball, torque-activated, core-lock design ensures equalized tension across any combination of roll widths. Equalizer - D2 is suited for repeated slit-width runs with operator-positioned, toolless core stops that can be set and retained through multiple runs, while Equalizer - D3 is...

Differential Rewind Shaft eliminates common winding issues.

Differential Rewind Shaft eliminates side to side core movement, core slip, and core dust. Internal slip design means cores are locked firmly, allowing precision tension control for different size cores on same shaft. Independent roll locks move freely when shaft pressure is released and allow cores to slide on and off shaft. By running multiple width rolls on same Differential Rewind Shaft,...

Shafting/Accessories work with linear guidance systems.

SKFÃ-® inch series shafting and accessories offer users capability to design linear guidance systems for various applications. Shaft materials include hardened and ground carbon steel as well as chrome-plated and stainless steel. Standard shaft diameters range from Ã-¼-2 in. Accessories include inch shaft support rails and shaft end supports, and options include custom hole drilling and...

Differential Shaft provides advanced tension control.

Air Roll Lock Differential Shaft, available in 3 and 6 in. diameters, comes in wide and narrow web lengths. It will not wobble, slip, or leave dust on cores and floor. Multiple-width rolls can be run on same shaft, eliminating need to change shafts. Product suits OEM and end user applications.

Choosing the Right Load Ring for Your Needs

A Temper® Load Ring, also known as a Constant Force Adjustable Spacer, is a precision ring designed to perform as a predictable constant force element. It is fabricated from ductile, high strength stainless alloys.

Spline Shafts are suited for light load applications.

Designed for applications that require minimal friction, aluminum Spline Shaft series is treated with proprietary TFE coating and coupled with graphite and PTFE-filled thermoplastic bushing. Products are available with any combination of basic or anti-backlash bushing; plain or thread mount bushing; and Ã-¼, 3/8, or Ã-½ in. dia shaft. Standard lengths are offered to 24 in., and hollow...

Air Lock Shaft facilitates differential winding.

Featuring internal slip design, Air Lock Shaft eliminates core dusting, core wobble, and core slippage from differential winding. Combination of precision-engineered rollers and locks, along with internal slip clutch, ensure that every core locks at correct tension, allowing multiple cores to be loaded and unloaded with ease. Offered in 3 and 6 in. diameters, shaft comes in wide and narrow web...

Wide Web Shafts come in diameters up to 16 in.

Offered in face lengths up to 150 in., wide web air and mechanical expanding shafts come in hardened steel to accommodate high load and torque requirements, as well as carbon fiber and aluminum to reduce shaft weight. Units are suited for paper, nonwoven, textiles, and heavy converting industries.

Precision Case Shafting suits linear motion applications.

Suited for power transmission applications, EZEE Precision Case Shafting is produced with electromagnetic-based hardening system. Offered in lengths up to 15 ft, product comes in 100 variations and diameters from Ã-¼-3 in., including 8 metric sizes. Options include pre-drilled shafts; metric dimensioned shafts; and chrome plating. Custom machined shafts include flats; keyways; drilled/tapped...

Lug Shafts feature lightweight, high modulus design.

Carbon Fiber Lug Shafts, for rewind and unwind applications, produce less deflection than comparable steel shafts. They include long-life bladders, aluminum or steel spring return lugs, and plain carbon or aluminum clad covering.

Actuator Assemblies have TFE coating.

Lead screw, linear rail, spline shaft, and ScrewRail(TM) actuator assemblies are available with Kerkote(TM) TFE coating, which reduces friction and extends life of maintenance-free assemblies. Coating decreases erratic drag torques and unpredictable wear and provides maximum level of self-lubrication. Dry lubricant will not become paste-like and attract dirt or debris. Assemblies are suited for...
