Expanding Shaft 100% Carbon Fiber With Ledges
Mod. 640 PLC
The 640 PLC 100% Carbon Fiber Expanding Shaft with Ledges is specifically designed for winding and unwinding applications involving cores that require high operating speeds, excellent strength, and lightweight construction.
Developed by Svecom – P.E., this innovative expanding shaft is entirely manufactured from carbon fiber and is protected by a patent application. Featuring three expanding ledges, it offers outstanding mechanical performance, setting a new standard in expanding shaft technology.
Thanks to its high elastic modulus, the shaft provides exceptional rigidity and minimizes deformation under heavy loads. Its significantly reduced weight also makes handling easier and improves operational efficiency compared with conventional steel, aluminum, and carbon fiber shafts fitted with steel inserts.
Key advantages:
• Lightweight construction: Reduces shaft weight by 65% compared with full-steel shafts, 15% compared with aluminum shafts, and 37% compared with carbon fiber shafts featuring steel inserts.
• Higher critical speeds: Increases critical speed by 80% compared with full-steel shafts, 19% compared with aluminum shafts, and 39% compared with carbon fiber shafts featuring steel inserts.
• High rigidity: Minimizes shaft deformation under heavy loads, supporting stable and reliable operation.
• Design flexibility: Allows a wide range of shaft geometries to accommodate different machine configurations and customer requirements.
The 640 PLC Carbon Fiber Expanding Shaft offers an advanced solution for demanding industrial applications where high speed, structural rigidity, and reduced weight are essential. Available upon request, the shaft can be customized to meet specific operational requirements and machine configurations.
