Air shafts, also known as air bars or air mandrels, are used in the manufacturing processes for fitting into a core onto which materials such as paper and plastic film are wound. The purpose of using an air shaft, is that when it is fitted onto a core, it can be easily expanded by which a quick attachment can be achieved. Air expandable shafts play a very significant role in paper and packaging industries. Its incredible features and outstanding capabilities make it a must-have tool in many industries. It consists of several beneficial features such as a slotted shaft, rubber bladders, hard and ground steel cage with ball gripper that makes it one of the best tools.

The advantage of using an air shaft is that it has the ability to grip the core without causing any damage, while also providing a positive interface to manage the web via motors & brakes. Air Shafts are available in two types – lug type (with bladder down the centre) or strip type (bladders on the periphery of the shaft). It is necessary to purchase the best air shaft from the leading air shaft supplier in India. 

Applications of air shafts 

You can use the air shaft at many places here are some to describe where you can use it easily. 

• Continuous core – For the purpose of standard unwinding and rewinding applications 
• Cantilever Air shaft – For the purpose of narrow sitting or single cores. It makes the operation of reels much easier.
• Multi-slit air shaft – Overlapping/meeting lugs are used to supply continuous gripping for multi-slitting applications
• Duplex slitting – A pair of shafts used in tandem winding reel in an alternative manner. The load on shafts are reduced drastically which prevents interleaving

• Leaf type air shaft – A leaf Air Shaft is used when thin wall cores need sensitive but positive gripping. The design of leaf type air shaft is such that it maintains a high level of concentricity while core distortion is kept at the lowest which is achieved by gripping the core at 360°, with the leaves being made to suit the core diameter when it is expanded.
• Strip type air shafts – This type of air shafts high strength-to-weight ratio, therefore significant weight savings are assured when compared to conventional Aluminium or Steel Air Shafts.
