Aluminium Adapter

Overview

The aluminium adapter is a core adapter made from aluminium and used between an air shaft and a core of a different inner diameter. It can be considered for applications where the same shaft has to run with different core sizes. Using adapters can reduce the need to keep a separate shaft for each core size.

The adapters are made in a standard length, which is listed in the table below. Other size requirements can be discussed with you at quotation stage.

Features

• Aluminium body
• Light construction for easy handling and fitting
• Made in a standard length
• Other size requirements considered at quotation stage
• Used between an air shaft and cores of a different inner diameter

Applications

It can be used on packaging, printing, paper and plastic film lines, on machines that wind or unwind with different core sizes. It can be a suitable option for operations that work with different core sizes for different customer orders and want quick roll changes. For an alternative adapter option, see our mechanical aluminium adapter page, and for suitable shaft options, our air shafts page.
