What is a Mechanical Expandable Shaft? A Complete Overview

 

A mechanical expandable shaft is a tool to manage and wind rolls of any material with accuracy. It is made to clamp the core of the roll safely, expand as needed, and return to its original shape once the job is done. This facilitates easy loading, unwinding, and rewinding of materials without slippage or damage.

Its characteristic feature is its expandable core shaft technology. On the application of air pressure or a mechanical system, the shaft expands radially to securely grip the roll core. After the job, the shaft collapses to discharge the roll with ease. This provides it with a must-have in those industries where continuous roll handling takes place and accounts for the working principle of expandable shaft design.
