| Ultrashaft™ Carbon Fiber Shafts |
| |
 The Ultrashaft™ provides the perfect combination of durability and high-speed operation in a lightweight, ergonomic air shaft.
Now, the Ultrashaft is available with a unique flexible polymer coating
to provide further protection against abrasion, knife cut, unexpected impact and normal wear and tear from daily shaft handling. This new coating also flexes with the shaft, so there's no more guessing if the carbon fiber under a cracked sleeve is safe for your application. For severe applications requiring aluminum or steel sleeves each sleeve is engineered to minimize the risk of cracking. Further enhancements to the shaft include high-torque lugs and non-metallic retraction springs to virtually eliminate bladder failures giving you an ultra-reliable, ultra-durable, ultra-high speed, Ultrashaft.
Key Features:
- New XPRO10 polymer coating, an alternative to metallic sleeves,
reduces shaft weight and improves safety
- Carry heavy loads with minimum deflection and shaft weight
- Operate at higher speeds without vibration
- Journals made-to-order for existing machines
