Shaftless Air Chuck
Raptor Series Torque Chucks
Tidland's new shaftless Chucks are ideal for continuous-duty shaftless applications in corrugating, sheeting, paper finishing or laminating. The unique design is extremely robust, easy to maintainting and core-friendly.
Operators will appreciate the substantial torque output, durable construction, positive core centering ability and core-friendly design of these chucks. Ease of removal and insertion improve overall throughput while reducing waste associated with jammed cores.
Raptor Series torque chucks offer unique ergonomic benefits to operators. Routine maintenance and core size changes can be made without removing the entire chuck from the machine, reducing downtime and the risk of injury due to heavy lifting. The toolless adapter allows users to switch core sizes in two steps, taking less than 5 seconds overall.
Key Features:
- Torque activated expansion using precision ground rollers
- Expansion, retraction and disengagement requires no operator intervention, tools or air supply
- Continuous expansion throughout roll set
- Durable construction
- Absolute core centering
- Non-slip grip of core
- Non-destructive to cores
- Proportional/variable
- Toolless adapter
Raptor Series Air Powered Lug Chucks
Tidland's Raptor Series Air Powered Lug Chucks are easy to use and maintain and help eliminate the core damage usually associated with shaftless applications. The new 3" (76.2 mm) Air Powered Lug Chuck is ideal for high speed printing, laminating, sheeting applications on unwind flying or zero speed splicers and other shaftless unwind/rewind applications.
Unlike other chucks Tidland's Raptor Series Air Powered Chucks offers on-machine maintenance and toolless adapter changes from 3" to 6" (76.2 mm to 152 mm) cores in less than 30 seconds. This means ergonomic benefits to operators because they no longer have to remove the entire chuck from the machine for routine maintenance or core size changes.
Key Features:
- Wide-footprint lug Non destructive to cores.
- Prevents wasted product
- Positive, mechanical retraction of lugs
- Eliminates sticking lugs during normal operation
- Secondary, pneumatic retraction of lugs
- Back-up method reduces operator injury associated with forcing rolls off chucks
Mechanical Chucks
Rugged and heavy-duty, Tidland’s Mechanical Chuck provides superior performance in shaftless unwind stands, best suited in operations using rolls with fiber or metal cores. Precision-cast alloy steel makes this mechanical chuck virtually indestructible, providing torque capacity limited only by machine power and strength of the core material. Unlike other mechanical chucks, the Tidland design has a pressure flange located on its inboard end to ensure that the lugs will not expand until the chuck is fully in position.
Key Features:
3" to 6" (76 mm to 152 mm) ID Cores
