Clamping shafts with lightweight aluminum profile

Lightweight pneumatic expansion shafts are a response to the requirements of many customers looking for particularly light solutions to protect the health of their employees and ensure occupational safety. For this reason, we at IBD Wickeltechnik have developed this special variant. We rely on a delicately crafted, material-reduced aluminum profile. Despite this slim design, our clamping shafts are characterized by robustness and a high load-bearing capacity.

By using enclosing expansion shells, our pneumatic clamping shafts are particularly well-suited for coreless winding. Coreless winding is very frequently used for winding web-shaped waste. Furthermore, they offer clear advantages for thin-walled winding cores, as the shells have an almost closed contour and thus cause only minimal deformation of the cores. Material clamping for the shaft is also optionally available.

The pneumatic clamping shaft offers a wide range of possibilities as a cantilevered application. The option of individual flanges or journals allows for flexible installation. Air supply can be provided either radially, axially from the front via an air valve, or from the rear via a rotary union. Regarding equipment, all functions and add-ons of a conventional profile shaft are available. This makes it a versatile solution for a wide range of applications where single-sided support is required.
