The perfect combination of durability and high-speed operation in a lightweight, ergonomic air shaft is what operators will find in Tidland’s Ultrashaft Carbon Fiber Air Shafts. The Ultrashaft is available with a unique flexible polymer coating to provide further protection against abrasion, knife cuts, unexpected impact and normal wear and tear from daily shaft handling. This new coating "XPRO10" results in a lighter overall shaft weight and eliminates guessing if the carbon fiber under a cracked sleeve is safe for your application.

Ultrashaft XPRO10 coating also performs in 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:

Lightweight carbon fiber design reduces workers' compensation costs associated with shaft handling

High modulus, low deflection carbon fiber shaft increases profitability through higher run speeds and trouble free splices

New XPRO10 polymer coating reduces downtime and replacement costs associated with cracked sleeves

High strength, high torque design enables safe handling of the most demanding materials

*Note: Example shows results for a lug shaft for a 70” wide web. Assumes (2) 2” diameter steel journals x 6” long; face length of web width + 4” bearing centers of face length + 6”. Maximum operating speed is at core, assumes 0.5” wall core. Other configurations will yield different results.
