The Convertech Mechanical Core Shaft is a narrow web shaft that expands mechanically with a continuous lug or leaf. These custom- made mechanical shafts expand concentrically with a wrench or knob and are available in several designs and mounting styles including double journal, cantilevered, and flanged. These shafts are suitable for high speed and high torque applications and are easy to repair.

Features

The Mechanical Core Shaft features a simple turn-the-screw operation with no air required. The mechanical design assures concentric running of the cores and absolute roll centering. The mechanical design also helps the shaft operate under high speed and high tension conditions and require low maintenance.

The Mechanical Core Shaft is available from 1” to 6” diameter and face lengths to 30” and has positive expansion and retraction to a consistent diameter.
