The External Strip Shaft is ideal for light and medium duty unwind or rewind applications. Evenly spaced rows of continuous rubber lugs accomplish the gripping action in this type of air shaft. The larger area of the external lug allows for a higher torque capacity. Total load carrying capacity is some what sacrificed as the outside body tube surface is machined away to allow for multiple “T” slots design to accommodate the rubber lug. The continuous lug design allows for the mounting of multiple cores of any width. The synectics external strip lug shaft is simple in construction allowing for each external lug strip to be changed without dismantling the shaft.
