In applications where variable core tension and material uniformity are essential, the Differential Air Shaft from Cbbmachine brings a flexible approach to multi-roll web handling. It addresses the challenge of maintaining consistent torque across different widths and materials, especially during simultaneous winding or slitting tasks.

This technology relies on internal mechanisms that allow each core to rotate with controlled independence, while still sharing the same drive system. The result is smooth tension distribution without slippage, even when cores differ in resistance or dimensional tolerance. This is a major advantage in flexible packaging, paper, film, and adhesive tape production.

Unlike standard air shafts that rely on uniform core tightness, a differential air shaft minimizes error and material distortion during long runs. This makes it ideal for operators who manage diverse material specifications or encounter frequent order changes. With air pressure adjustments handled centrally, the shaft automatically adapts to varying loads without requiring system pauses or manual corrections.

Its design simplifies the winding process by integrating torque balancing features into the core-holding mechanism. Each segment reacts independently to drag forces, enabling uniform winding even if outer and inner layers of material behave differently. This directly contributes to roll quality, reducing the chances of telescoping or uneven layering.

Operational downtime is also reduced. The shaft's modular construction supports rapid maintenance, while the air pressure system eliminates the need for multiple mechanical settings. For teams working on fast-paced production floors, this translates to saved time and improved workflow efficiency.

Moreover, its compatibility with both high-speed and low-tension applications offers flexibility across different machine types. Whether integrated into existing lines or planned for new builds, the shaft is designed to meet modern production expectations with minimal infrastructure modification.
