Product Description
Mechanical Safety Chuck designed by us, is used to rewind or unwind material in rolls on expanding airshafts. This chuck also allows for easier loading and unloading of rolls without having to move the airshaft directly. It acts as a device that allows you to keep your hands safe while working. Mechanical Safety Chuck cuts down on loading and unloading time. It provides maintenance-free operation since the driving mechanism does not need to be removed every time the core holding shaft is changed.

FAQs of Mechanical Safety Chucks:
Q: How do Mechanical Safety Chucks ensure secure holding during winding operations?
A: Mechanical Safety Chucks feature a self-locking insertion slot system which automatically secures the shaft when inserted, preventing accidental disengagement and ensuring continuous safe operation during winding and unwinding processes.
Q: What shaft sizes and types are compatible with these safety chucks?
A: These chucks accommodate square or tri-lobe inserts ranging from 30 mm to 50 mm and are designed to fit different shaft diameters and configurations used in printing, packaging, textile, and paper applications.
Q: When should I choose between the foot mount and flange mount options?
A: The choice depends on your machine setupfoot mounts are suitable for floor-level or base installation, whereas flange mounts are ideal for side or wall-mounted applications. Both options offer robust support and easy installation.
Q: Where can these mechanical chucks be installed in the production line?
A: They are usually installed at the unwinding or winding stations of machinery in industries such as printing, packaging, textile, and paper & pulp, wherever reliable shaft holding and rapid shaft changes are required.
Q: What is the maintenance process for these safety chucks?
A: Routine inspection, basic cleaning, and lubrication of moving parts are recommended. Due to their robust build with rust and corrosion-resistant coating, they require minimal maintenance compared to automated alternatives.
Q: How does the quick coupling feature benefit my workflow?
A: Quick coupling/decoupling allows for fast shaft changes, reducing machine downtime and enhancing productivity, especially in high-volume web handling processes.
Q: What advantages does the hardened steel insert material provide?
A: Hardened steel inserts offer high strength and wear resistance, ensuring that the safety chucks can withstand high torques (up to 1500 Nm) and operate reliably under heavy loads, contributing to long operational life.
