Air Shafts
Air shafts for strong gripping, balanced centring and stable running in winding and unwinding, with aluminium and steel bodies and custom-built options.
Air shafts, safety chucks and industrial spare parts
Adding Power to Production.
Machine manufacturing, engineering and industrial power.
Since 2009
We turn the production experience and technical know-how gained since our foundation into machinery and equipment solutions that fit each business's needs.
Made to your drawing
Shaft journals are CNC-machined to the customer's drawing, and non-standard sizes are produced to order.
Spare parts and service
We supply spare parts and provide service support for needs that arise once the equipment is in use.
Tested before dispatch
Our air shafts and adapters are tested for air tightness, strength and balance before they leave our facility.
About Us
Since 2009 we have provided machinery and equipment solutions for the packaging and automation sectors. With our air shafts, friction systems, safety chucks, pneumatic brakes and shaftless winding systems we add value to your production, and we stand by you with spare parts and service support.

From air shafts and safety chucks to friction rings and spare parts, we make the components that roll-fed machines rely on.
Safety Chucks
Safety chucks that hold the shaft securely in the machine and lock themselves on the first turn, even if the operator forgets.
Friction Rings
Friction rings, and replacements, that balance the tension of each roll on a common shaft in slitting machines.
Brakes and Clutches
Brake, clutch and tension control equipment for keeping material tension under control during winding and unwinding.
Web Guiding Systems
Systems that use a microprocessor for precise edge and colour-line tracking and correct web wander as rolls are unwound and rewound.
Pneumatic Knife Systems
Pneumatic knife holders for cutting web materials into the required widths on slitting lines.
Rollers
Rollers that guide materials such as film, paper and foil evenly and smoothly along the production line.
Adapters
Aluminium core adapters for using an air shaft with cores of a different inner diameter.
Shaftless Winding Heads
Heads that grip rolls by the ends of the core, so you can wind and unwind without a shaft.
Spare Parts
Spare parts for air shafts, safety chucks and related equipment, quoted from a part number, dimensions or a technical drawing.
Applications
See where our products are used on packaging, printing, paper, plastics and winding lines, and what to consider when choosing them.
Packaging
Equipment that carries the roll safely from unwind to rewind on flexible packaging lines, unwinds it at the right tension and rewinds it cleanly.
Printing
In flexo and gravure printing, steady tension and a straight web path are preconditions for print quality, and unwind and rewind equipment shapes both.
Paper and Board
Equipment for carrying heavy, wide paper and board rolls safely, unwinding them under control and adapting one shaft to different core diameters.
Plastic Film and Extrusion
Equipment for low, stable tension on thin, stretchable plastic films, for clean winding and for reliable edge detection on transparent material.
Winding and Slitting Lines
Shafts, chucks, brakes and control equipment needed at the unwind and rewind of roll-fed lines such as slitting, laminating, profile wrapping and textile machines.
