Big and Heavy.If this describes your requirements for winding and unwinding, then you should check out using this amazing air shaft instead of using multiple expensive reel spool mandrels in your application.The Series 860 is a heavy-duty air shaft designed for maximum reliability and performance in demanding mill environments, reducing the cost and storage of expensive reel spool mandrels. The spiral strip design of this shaft eliminates "speed bumps" on cores and minimizes critical speed and vibration issues that prevent successful turn-ups and splices.

The ergonomic design of the Series 860 Mill Shaft provides increased safety by eliminating the need for dangerous locking collars or wrenches.The advanced features of these shafts include non-metallic retraction springs, durable poly bladder, and a fail-safe multi-circuit air system, with check valves to ensure that a loss of air in one element will not affect the expansion and performance of the other elements.This shaft also utilizes our innovative two-piece expanding elements, with a spiral design that provides 360º of radial grip and intrinsically equalized load distribution.You’ll find excellent quality in your roll output with the way the 860 Mill handles your material with less vibration and reduced core deformation as well as be impressed with how many times you can actually use the shaft instead of storing it like you may do with reel spool mandrels.
