When handling wide rolls or heavy-duty materials, secure core engagement is essential for both efficiency and safety. The Mechanical Expand Chuck , designed by Cbbmachine, addresses this need by offering a stable and adjustable holding mechanism that ensures firm core gripping during rotation and torque transfer. Its adaptability across shaft-driven systems makes it a go-to solution for various web-handling industries.

Unlike pneumatic alternatives, this mechanical system relies on internal wedges or cams that expand outward when actuated by a torque or axial movement. This design provides consistent expansion force without relying on external air supplies, making it especially suitable for high-torque applications or environments with fluctuating air pressure.

The chuck delivers steady performance during both winding and unwinding, minimizing core deformation and reducing vibration. This results in smoother starts, less material waste, and greater safety for operators working with large or unbalanced rolls. Moreover, its construction ensures a longer service life due to fewer moving parts and reduced susceptibility to air leakage or contamination.

With simple installation and minimal maintenance, mechanical expand chucks integrate easily into existing equipment. They are compatible with a wide range of core sizes through the use of modular or custom sleeves. For businesses seeking stable roll control without adding system complexity, mechanical chucks provide an efficient, low-maintenance option that supports a variety of operating conditions.

Choosing the right chuck isn't just about compatibility—it's about process reliability. A secure hold translates into cleaner cuts, aligned winds, and more accurate outputs. Whether your application involves printing, coating, or laminating, the ability to lock and release with precision can reduce downtime and extend equipment life.
