From special construction to customer favourite

Exactly 25 years ago, we at IBD Wickeltechnik designed our first aluminium profile expansion shaft for 3“ cores as a special application for a customer in the packaging industry. With the profile shaft, we fulfilled the customer’s request for a much lighter expansion shaft that would help the machine operator when changing rolls frequently.

The flat tube system with continuous expansion ledges became a meaningful alternative to our strong central tube expansion shafts. The weight, the price and the sleeve-protecting characteristics made the aluminium profile expansion shaft so popular to our customers that we were able to extend our range by a 6″ profile.

Today, the flat tube expansion shaft PSW-F is one of our top-selling products and we offer it for six different core diameters. In addition to the classic design, the expansion shaft is also available as an ultra-lightweight design and with shell elements for coreless winding.

The high demand for these winding shafts allows us to offer the lightweight aluminium expansion shaft with standardized bearing journals available from stock. This reduces the delivery time to approx. 2 weeks.

We say Happy Birthday and look forward to future developments in the next 25 years.
