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
