Mill-Duty Leaf Shafts Overview

The Tidland Mill-Duty Leaf Shaft is designed for heavy-duty 178 mm to 610 mm (7 in to 24 in) ID cores, as well as coreless operations. The largest diameter leaf shaft available, this shaft is excellent for tougher jobs such as winding metal and foil strips. It can also be used as a reel spool for paper reels and large paper machines. These leaf shafts provide successful roll control and elimination of thin wall core deformation. With 360-degree radial expanding grip along the entire leaf face, the Series 750 delivers more winding surface and allows for the winding of single or multiple rolls, with or without cores.
