carbon fiber shaft parts
  1. Carbon fibre shafts have stainless steel air valves that will not corrode.
  2. Easy-access journal fastening system (no press fit).
  3. Gripping lugs.
  4. Proprietary corded polyprene bladder material minimizes bladder shaft failure and subsequent maintenance.
  5. Carbon fibre shaft housing can provide stiffness and strength equal to steel at a fraction of the weight.
  6. Metal sleeve protects carbon fibre shaft housing from abrasion.
  7. Hardnened steel journals custom made for your machine.

DLB-2000 Features, Advantages and Benefits
FEATURE ADVANTAGE BENEFIT
Carbon Fibre Shaft Housing Lightweight Fewer shaft handling injuries lower worker’s compensation expenses and non-productive time.

Meet regulations for single person lifting.
Better ergonomics No maintenance or jamming, no contamination.
  Less deflection Reduced vibration and less roll bounce.

Heavier roll weights.
  Higher critical speed More throughput.
Protective Outer Sleeve Protects carbon fibre
shaft from abrasion.		 Longer carbon fibre
shaft life.
Proprietary Bladder Stretches less than traditional
rubber.		 Dependable lug collapse ensures
consistent, easy removal of shaft from spent cores
More resistant to
heat, punction, and abrasion.		 Far less bladder failure
and minimized maintenance.
Springless Lugs No springs to break and puncture bladder. Longer bladder life; less maintenance
Diamond pattern gripping surface with large surface area Better grip with less
slipping.
Custom Journals No press fit facilitates
journal removal.		 Bladder replacement,
though rare, is quick and easy.
Carbon Fiber Through Shaft

CF-1000 Dura-Light Non-Expanding Carbon Fibre Shafts (Through Shafts)

Dura-Light Mechanical Carbon Fibre Expanding Lug Shafts

  • For high speed and/or heavyweight applications requiring maximum torque capacity and minimum vibration.
  • Mechanical design provides the most powerful gripping force possible.
  • Activated by turning a crank (or impact wrench) that is inserted into the end of a journal.
  • Requires just five cranks for full expansion – lugs rise concentrically to center the carbon fibre shaft in the core, minimizing the roll bounce common with other types of expanding shafts.
  • Mechanical and Pneumatic/Mechanical Shafts are also available in Double E's traditional steel design.
