Fortune's friction shafts are particularly suitable for rewinding reels of materials with unequal thicknesses along the width, without generating pull differences when winding multiple reels. The torque-activated ball lock design enables a high winding quality independent of the core quality. These rings are easy to handle and do not generate paper dust, since the contact between the core shaft and the winding tube is prevented. Double / single row of balls with staggered positioning prevent the so-called flattering of winding cores. Features:- Hard chromium-plated ground steel carrier shaft Dynamically balanced expanding carrier shaft for high mpm machines 3″ and 6″ friction rings using the same central shaft For multiple reels rewinding, perfect for use on slitter-rewinder Rings with expanding balls, possibly with preloaded positioners Exclusive expandable friction strips which, in contact with the friction rings, transmit the twisting moment necessary to the individual reels to automatically uniform the pull. Rings material hard black anodized aluminum or steel Core diameter from 2"to 8" Custom made shaft for each type of machine

Felt for Friction Shaft is a critical component used in friction shaft systems to ensure smooth and controlled torque transmission during slitting and rewinding operations. Made from high-quality, wear-resistant materials, this felt provides consistent friction, helping to maintain uniform tension across multiple rolls. It plays a vital role in preventing slippage and ensuring stable performance in high-speed converting applications. Designed for durability and precision, friction shaft felt is easy to install and replace, making it ideal for use in paper, film, foil, and flexible packaging industries. Its long service life and reliable performance make it an essential accessory for efficient roll handling systems.

The Quick Lock 3 Inch is an advanced core locking solution designed for efficient and secure mounting of 3-inch cores in slitting, rewinding, and converting machines. Built with high-quality materials, it ensures strong grip, high torque transmission, and stable performance even at high speeds. Its quick-lock mechanism allows tool-free operation, reducing downtime and improving productivity during roll changeovers. Widely used in industries such as flexible packaging, paper, film, and foil processing, this system offers durability, precision, and ease of maintenance. The Quick Lock 3 Inch is an ideal choice for manufacturers looking for reliable and fast core handling solutions.

Fortune Safety Chuck ensures safe, quick, and reliable shaft holding for winding and unwinding applications. Designed for high-speed operations, it enhances productivity while reducing maintenance. Its durable construction and precision locking mechanism prevent slippage, ensuring smooth performance. Upgrade your machinery with Fortune Roto Control’s trusted Safety Chuck technology.

Axial-thrust mechanical chucks with double diameter cores 3” and 6”. The chuck expansion occurs by axial thrust of the chuck inside the core. The lugs are kept at the minimum diameter with the help of spring force. FORTUNE axial thrust mechanical core chucks are provided with a spring system which, using the axial thrust when introduced inside the reel core, expands a series of keys.

The 1 Inch Multi-Bladder Air Shaft is a precision-engineered solution designed for secure and uniform core gripping in slitting, rewinding, and converting applications. Featuring multiple inflatable bladders, it ensures even air distribution across the core, providing superior grip strength while minimizing core damage and slippage. Ideal for handling lightweight and narrow rolls, this air shaft enhances machine efficiency, ensures smooth operation at high speeds, and reduces downtime. Manufactured using high-quality materials for durability and long service life, it is widely used in industries such as flexible packaging, paper, and film processing, making it a reliable choice for consistent and high-performance roll handling.

A Cantilever Air Shaft is a specialized shaft designed for easy roll loading and unloading without the need for support on both ends. It is widely used in applications where quick changeovers and efficient handling of rolls are required, such as in slitting, rewinding, and unwinding processes. The shaft operates by inflating an internal bladder, which expands to grip the core securely, ensuring stable and precise web handling. At Fortune Roto Control, we provide high-performance Cantilever Air Shafts engineered for durability, reliability, and ease of use. Our shafts are designed to improve operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and meet the demanding needs of modern industrial applications.
