One of the most robust and heavy-duty core holding solutions, this system works on the mechanical advantage of a taper wedge mechanism operated through a high-pressure pneumatic cylinder. It is designed to provide strong and reliable gripping even in demanding applications.
Our air chuck range is developed with a strong focus on operator safety and ease of use. The gripping element is made from a high-quality elastomer that can securely hold a wide range of core sizes. When worn out, it can be replaced easily without much cost. The design is available with double-part collar locking, single split support, and set screw locking options, allowing multiple chucks to be inflated or deflated from the shaft end.
This makes it a practical and lightweight solution for core holding, especially suitable for low-tension unwinding applications. It ensures zero damage to cores and can be mounted easily on the shaft without complex setup.
Key advantages:
- Ideal choice for preventing core damage in shaftless machines
- Can rotate in both directions without any issue
- No axial load on the system, which improves machine life
- Uniform expansion ensures proper concentric gripping
- Easy changeover between different core sizes using slide-on adapters
- High torque capacity even at higher speeds with smooth operation
