Componex Shaft Options
Benefits of Componex Shafts:
- Run up to 7.5 times faster with patented roller technology
- Chrome-plated solid or tubular 1045 steel, 303 stainless, or aluminum shaft options
- Stub-shaft design reduces weight, whip, and installation complexity
- Hard chrome plating for scratch, gouge, and corrosion resistance
- Tubular construction lowers weight with minimal deflection impact
- Ships quickly – most configurations in just 5 days
Componex Thru-Shafts Overview
Componex Thru-Shaft options are engineered to optimize your dead-shaft idler performance. With a choice of solid or tubular designs, these shafts balance durability, weight savings, and corrosion resistance.
Stub shafts are ideal when space is tight or weight matters. By replacing a full-length through-shaft with a short, rigidly mounted stub shaft, you gain clearance, cut handling weight, and boost critical-speed performance. On long rollers that use smaller-diameter bearings, stub shafts eliminate the resonant “shaft whip” that can occur with a through-shaft.
Engineered Design & Key Benefits
Componex Shafts are designed for long-term reliability in all your web-handling applications.
- Hard chrome plating resists scratches, divets, rust, and corrosion for years of reliable service
- Weight-saving tubular design reduces mass while still allowing for tapped or turned-down ends
- Stub-shaft option simplifies installation, reduces weight, and eliminates shaft whip on longer rolls
- Multiple materials, steel, stainless, or aluminum, to meet application-specific needs
- Reliable performance even under high speeds, tension, and thermal expansion conditions
