Frequently asked questions
- What is an air shaft used for?
- An air shaft grips paper, film or foil cores pneumatically so a roll can be wound or unwound with even tension and zero run-out, used across slitting, rewinding and converting lines.
- What is the difference between a lug-type and a multi-tube air shaft?
- Lug-type shafts grip through metal lugs pushed out by an inflated tube and suit heavier loads; multi-tube shafts grip through multiple rubber strips for gentler, more uniform core holding on lighter films.
- Can you manufacture air shafts to a custom diameter and length?
- Yes. Gopal Engineering Works builds air shafts to drawing in mild or stainless steel for any core ID, web width and load — share your specification for a quote.
