SHAFT INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Standard Leaf Shaft
1. Install shaft as required for your machine application.
2. Slide the core onto the shaft.
3. Inflate rubber tube to 80-120 psi (5.5-8.3 bar) and begin winding.
Fixed Leaf Shaft
1. Install shaft as required for your machine application.
2. Rotate the shaft so that the fixed leaf is at the top; slide the core onto the shaft.
3. Inflate rubber tube to 80-120 psi (5.5-8.3 bar) and begin winding.
Positioning the fixed leaf at the top allows the internal rubber element to expand more
uniformly, and prevents the internal element from having to lift the weight of the material roll.
Inflating the shaft with the fixed leaf down or to the side can lead to
excessive element wear and premature failure.
Coreless Gripper Leaf Shaft
1. Install shaft as required for your machine
application.
2. Make sure shaft is completely deflated.
3. Make sure fixed leaf is in the correct position.
4. Lay web along the length of the shaft, sliding
it into the gap between the fixed leaf and the
gripper bar.
5. Inflate rubber tube to 80-120 psi (5.5-8.3 bar),
securing the web between the leaves.
6. Begin winding operation.
