Air Shaft Cross Section
  1. Double E expanding air shafts use the company's exclusive diamond pattern gripping lugs for gripping the core. The lugs' large surface area ensures extra core contact for even better performance.
  2. The shaft's housing is made from steel or aircraft-grade aluminum (DG-2000), or from various grades of carbon fibre (DLB-2000), depending on application requirements.
  3. Special corded bladder material resists puncture and abrasion. As a result, the air shaft needs little, if any, maintenance and the shaft lasts longer.
  4. The air shaft's journals are connected using high-strength flathead fasteners, a close tolerance fit, and deep insertion. Maintenance is rare, but when necessary it is quick and easy because a press-fit is not used.
  5. The shaft's stainless steel air valve will never rust.
  6. Air shaft journals are custom-manufactured to fit your machine.

DG-2000 Air Shafts

  • Competing air shaft bladders are made with a common form of neoprene rubber which requires frequent replacement due to stretching and abrasion.
  • Double E air shaft lugs are available with a “diamond-grip” surface in steel, aluminum, or hard rubber, and have been field-proven to provide the maximum gripping performance possible.
  • Easy-maintenance journal connection - secured with flathead screws, a close tolerance fit, and deep insertion. Competing airshafts often use a tapered press fit, which requires a hydraulic press and heat to remove the journals. Bladder replacement on these shafts can take hours while the bladder of a Dyna–Grip air shaft can be changed in just a few minutes.
