Mechanical are an excellent option for and applications for , , , and . Perfect for any application, there use can provide many benefits.
✔ Properly designed mechanical core chucks utilize rotation (not side pressure) to provide toque to the core inside diameter. This eliminates core distortion and damage.
✔ Core locking is torque sensitive, meaning more torque demand (higher web tension) receives proportionally more core locking force will be applied to the core inside diameter. These types of mechanical chucks will not slip, even under the highest torque requirement (very high web tensions). That said, these chucks are activated and lock with very light web tension, as well.
✔ Simplicity of design with no tools required is key. Make installation and use fast and easy.
✔ Mechanical chucks are used often in shaftless operations. However, they are also available for thru shaft applications. They are lightweight for easy lifting and maneuvering.
✔ Extremely low maintenance. Easy handling and reliable operation, equals fast roll changes with continuous operation. Improving your product throughput.
✔ Standard designs are available from stock for fast delivery. Additionally, core holding systems can be customized to fit your machine. Field service sales engineers are available to view and recommend best equipment and practices for your unique converting application.
