Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is a Leaf Type Air Shaft?
A Leaf Type Air Shaft is a pneumatic expanding shaft that uses multiple leaves or segments to grip the inside of a core securely during winding and unwinding.
Q2. How does a Leaf Type Air Shaft work?
When compressed air is supplied, the leaves expand outward and grip the inside surface of the core. When the air is released, the leaves retract for easy core removal.
Q3. What are the advantages of a Leaf Type Air Shaft?
It provides secure core holding, uniform gripping, quick core changes, stable roll handling, and reliable performance in converting machines.
Q4. Where are Leaf Type Air Shafts used?
They are commonly used in slitting, rewinding, printing, paper, film, foil, flexible packaging, label, and other web-handling applications.
Q5. What is the difference between a Leaf Type Air Shaft and a Lug Type Air Shaft?
A Leaf Type Air Shaft uses continuous or segmented expanding leaves to grip the core, while a Lug Type Air Shaft uses individual pneumatic lugs for core gripping.
Q6. Can Fortune Roto Control manufacture customized Leaf Type Air Shafts?
Yes. FORTUNE ROTO CONTROL PVT. LTD. can manufacture customized Leaf Type Air Shafts according to core ID, shaft length, roll weight, operating speed, and machine specifications.
Q7. What information is required to select a Leaf Type Air Shaft?
Core ID, shaft length, maximum roll weight, material width, machine speed, machine type, and required gripping configuration are important for selecting the correct shaft.
