Description

Safety Chucks provide rapid, secure mounting and power transmission for air shafts in unwind and rewind stations. Designed so that they only open when in the upright (top) position, they automatically lock the shaft firmly into place the moment the machine begins rotating. This failsafe mechanical geometry guarantees that a massive, spinning jumbo roll cannot accidentally jump out of the machine socket, providing absolute safety for the operator while allowing for instant drop-in roll loading.

Flange mounted or Foot-mounted structural blocks
Automatic locking hand-wheels engaged by rotational torque
Replaceable hardened steel square or V-shape jaw inserts
