Pneumatic Airshafts

Carbonlite have over 20 years experience in manufacturing air operated reel shafts in steel, aluminium and lightweight carbon fibre. Tell us your problem and we will supply the correct airshaft to meet your needs. We pioneered the use of carbon fibre for lightweight shafts - with an unequalled strength to weight ratio over other materials. Especially important when you need to comply with the latest Lifting and Handling legislation.
The Carbonlite range of airshafts is used by a wide variety of industries throughout the world in sizes which will accommodate cores from 1.5" (38mm) diameter up to 12" (300mm) within our range of standard sizes. Larger diameters can be supplied as special orders.

Capacity
Carbonlite airshafts are manufactured from tubes with three alternate wall thicknesses which minimises the need for multiple pressure pad sizes.

  • Three-inch (75mm) reel bars with a 1500mm load length will accept 500kg.
  • Six-inch (150mm) reel bars with a 1500mm load length will accept 1000kg.


    • The maximum diameter of reel bar we can supply is twenty inches (500mm).

    Materials Comparison
    Carbonlite carbon fibre airshafts have a specific stiffness up to 20 times greater than steel shafts. Will this help you comply with Lifting and Handling legislation?

    Journals
    All our journals are machined from Alloy steels which can be hardened at potential wear points, reducing your maintenance costs.

    Lugs
    Carbonlite airshafts use rubber lugs as standard. Various lug patterns are used from standard 3-row offset to 6-row offset, depending on application.
    Moulded rubber lugs are most frequently used but composite steel lugs are fitted when necessary.
