Maximum Grip Performance

Nim-Cor's special system of independent flanges provides maximum grip at all contact points along the core, achieving optimum torque. This unique design accommodates variations in the inside diameter of the web core, allowing the flanges to securely grip rolls of any continuously wound material to provide ease and speed in unwinding and rewinding.

• Independent flanges operate together, securing the load with firm, equalized pressure at every point.
• The system is customizable to fit your application by choosing lugs, large, small or midget buttons.
• Lugs, large and small buttons can be hardened for additional durability and serrated for increased torque.

Choice of material to suit application

Every application is different — there is no such thing as a "one size fits all" design. Nim-Cor offers airshafts in a variety of materials to meet the needs of its customers.

• Steel is the most popular choice, providing a cost effective shaft capable of meeting most applications.
• Aluminum is widely used, particularly where users are seeking to reduce the physical effort required in the handling of reels, and can accept lower load bearing limitations.
• Shafts made of Carbon Composites are capable of tackling any application and offer the best of both requirements, giving a shaft with high strength increased speed and reduced shaft deflection. Nim-Cor offers three different fiber modulus options, each one having specific application criteria.
• Stainless steel is used where the application involves high levels of hygiene, or in damp operating environments.

High-quality construction

Nim-Cor airshafts are built to exacting standards for years of dependable service. Our Engineering Department verifies each design to ensure that the shaft will carry the loads specified and meet the expected operating conditions of speed and tension. This study covers both the reeling and work-handling operations.

All Nim-Cor journals are taper-fitted to provide for accurate alignment and concentricity and to permit easy removal. All shafts are tested prior to shipping to ensure that they meet the customer requirements and Nim-Cor's own quality standards.
