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.

Why utilize carbon fiber pneumatic core shafts for your roll unwind and rewind application?

If you process rolls of paper, film, foil, textile and nonwoven in the converting industry you may ask yourself that exact question....

✔ Carbon pneumatic core shafts are lightweight. Generally speaking, carbon fiber shafting has the weight of aluminum with the stiffness of steel. This lightweight feature combined with the stiffness of steel means you can support heavy unwind and rewind rolls and provide machine operators with the lightweight handling of the air shaft during roll changes. This may speed up roll changes and benefit your safety and ergonomics.

✔ Less mass means less vibration and more stability to help to increase running speeds and throughput.

✔ Customized to fit your machine means fast and easy integration. Utilize Double E Group carbon fiber pneumatic core shafts and receive personalized service from our local sales engineers.

The Double E Group pioneered the use of carbon fiber as a shaft housing material in 1989. Thousands of Double E Group carbon fiber shafts are being used by converters all over the world.

Additionally, Double E Group lug type pneumatic core shafts feature proprietary bladder material, which stretches less than traditional rubber bladders. Dependable lug collapse design ensures consistent, easy removal and insertion with roll cores. Double E bladders are more resistant to heat, puncture and abrasion, which leads to far less bladder failure, compared to the competition. Minimized maintenance with springless lugs means no springs to break and puncture a bladder. Longer bladder life = less maintenance.

If you process rolls of paper, film, foil, textile or nonwoven webs, proper tension control in the unwind zone starts with your braking system. How does your unwind brake operate? Is the brake too big or too small for your application? Is the brake designed, specifically for converting applications?

Here are some tips for selecting the right brake for your application:

Proper brake sizing: Every unwind brake has a minimum to maximum torque output range. It is extremely important to understand your minimum to maximum torque requirement for your tension range, width range and roll diameter to core range. In order to calculate (link below) this required operating range you will need to provide your web width (minimum to maximum), maximum roll diameter, core size and web tension range (minimum to maximum) in pounds per linear inch (PLI).

Proper cooling: Every unwind brake is designed to dissipate heat. Does your existing brake overheat? Is there a lot of maintenance, like brake pad replacement required? You must understand what your unwind application requires from a brake in terms of heat dissipation, in order to specify the proper brake (link below) for your application.

Follow this link to help calculate and understand your torque and heat dissipation as a starting point: www.converteraccessory.com/ss/tqrpmhp.php

Please understand that brakes of all sorts are used in all kinds of industries (like on your car). Most brakes are not designed for the unique aspects of converting and tension control applications. Making use of a braking system that is not designed, specifically for unwinding into a converting application is a recipe for disaster. Utilize a brake supplier with specific knowledge and expertise in web handling to ensure your unwind tension control performance.
