High-Strength and DurabilityConstructed from premium aluminum alloy with an 8 mm thick wall and anodized finish, the Lugs Type Air Shaft ensures exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. Its high Rockwell hardness (6070 HRC) and precise roundness (0.05 mm) make it ideal for heavy-duty, continuous industrial applications where reliability and longevity are essential.
Efficient Web Handling PerformanceThe shaft is engineered to handle demanding web management tasks in rewind and unwind operations. Its expandable lugs securely grip various core sizes, ensuring perfect web alignment and smooth material flow, while the quick-release brass valve allows rapid inflation and deflation to reduce operator downtime during roll changeovers.
Customizable to Your RequirementsAvailable in lengths from 1000 mm to 6000 mm and diameters of 75 mm, 150 mm, or custom sizes, this air shaft is adaptable to diverse industrial machines and processes. Flexible lug counts and inflation options make it suitable for bespoke web handling solutions, offered by leading Indian exporters and manufacturers.
FAQs of Lugs Type Air Shaft:
Q: How does the expandable air shaft with multiple lugs function in web handling systems?
A: The expandable air shaft uses multiple lugs that extend outward when air is injected via a quick-release brass valve. This expansion provides a firm, uniform grip on the core, ensuring stable web alignment, minimal slippage, and efficient rewind or unwind performance during industrial machine operations.
Q: What are the advantages of using a lugs type air shaft with replaceable lugs and bladder?
A: Replaceable lugs and bladders simplify maintenance and reduce downtime. When wear occurs or replacement is needed, you can quickly change only the affected components without removing the entire shaft, thus extending the products lifespan and improving operational efficiency.
Q: When should I choose a shaft with end-shaft or flange mounting connection?
A: Select an end-shaft mounting when your machinery requires direct insertion into bearings or supports at both ends. Flange mounting is preferable for machines that need bolted connections and easier alignment, providing greater flexibility in installation based on your equipment layout.
Q: Where can I use this industrial-grade air shaft?
A: This air shaft is ideal for integration into web handling, rewind, and unwind applications across diverse industries, including paper, film, foil, textile, and flexible packaging. Its design supports high-load processes with temperatures ranging from -20C to 80C.
Q: What benefits does high-strength anodized aluminum and engineered precision offer?
A: High-strength anodized aluminum provides excellent durability, oxidation resistance, and low weight, which makes handling easier. Engineered precision ensures accurate roundness (0.05 mm) for smooth operation, less wear, and consistent performance even under heavy loads.
Q: How does the quick-release brass inflation valve improve usage efficiency?
A: The quick-release brass valve enables fast inflation and deflation, significantly reducing roll changeover time. This feature boosts productivity and ensures that the shaft can be reliably used across consecutive shifts with minimal operational delay.
