What is an Air Expandable Shaft? Features and Benefits.

In the world of equipment and industrial machinery, reliability is important to ensure smooth operations. Doesn’t matter whether its printing, packaging, or material handling, a range of systems and tools are employed to manage the processing and movement of the materials. One such tool in this scenario is the expandable shaft. This tool plays a vital role in winding and unwinding materials like film, metal coins, paper, and textiles. An air expandable shaft is also known as inflatable shaft is a mechanical device which is typically made from high-quality metal and composite material. When the air is applied, the shaft expands outward, gripping the material that is mounted into it. After this, once the air is released, the shaft comes back to its original size which makes it easy to replace and remove the material.
