{"product_id":"nishimura-type-slip-shaft","title":"Nishimura Type Slip Shaft for Precision Slitting and Rewinding","description":"\u003cp\u003eAre your slit rolls finishing with different tightness, uneven edges or telescoping? When several rolls are rewound on one rigid shaft, small differences in material thickness and roll diameter can create different winding tensions. The \u003cstrong\u003eNishimura Type Slip Shaft\u003c\/strong\u003e from XW Machinery is designed to compensate for those differences through controlled friction slip at each roll position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso called a \u003cstrong\u003eNishimura Type Differential Shaft\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eNishimura Type Friction Air Shaft\u003c\/strong\u003e, this pneumatic winding shaft is suited to multi-roll slitting and rewinding of plastic film, PET film, flexible packaging, labels, paper and foil. It helps converters produce more consistent rolls while giving machine builders a shaft configuration tailored to their equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow Does a Nishimura Type Slip Shaft Work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompressed air adjusts the friction force used to transmit torque from the shaft to its winding rings. As individual rolls grow at different rates, their rings can slip relative to the shaft instead of forcing every core to rotate at exactly the same speed. This controlled slip helps compensate for differences in roll diameter and material thickness during rewinding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe required air pressure and shaft configuration depend on the material, core size, slit width, roll weight and target winding tension.

Typical applications include film and flexible packaging slitting, label converting, paper rewinding and foil processing. For delicate or low-tension materials, the friction configuration should be selected against the actual operating conditions rather than core diameter alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your machine winds a single core and does not require differential slip between rolls, explore XW Machinery's \u003ca href=\"\/ja\/products\/air-expanding-shaft-3-inch-6-inch\"\u003eair expanding shaft\u003c\/a\u003e options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCustom Nishimura Type Friction Air Shaft Manufacturing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXW Machinery manufactures \u003ca href=\"\/ja\/products\/custom-differential-shaft-manufacturer\"\u003ecustom differential rewind shafts\u003c\/a\u003e for slitting, rewinding and roll-to-roll converting equipment.

What is a Nishimura Type Slip Shaft?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a differential rewind shaft that uses friction rings to transmit torque while allowing controlled slip between the shaft and individual winding cores. This helps compensate for speed and tension differences when multiple rolls are rewound together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e2. Is this an original Nishimura shaft?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a Nishimura type shaft manufactured by XW Machinery. If you need a replacement for an existing shaft, send us its drawing and dimensions so we can evaluate the required fit and configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e3. How is it different from a standard air expanding shaft?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standard air expanding shaft grips a core so it rotates with the shaft. A differential slip shaft allows winding positions to slip at controlled friction torque, which is useful when several slit rolls develop different diameters during rewinding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e4. How is the winding torque adjusted?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompressed air adjusts the friction force that transmits torque to the winding rings. The appropriate setting depends on the shaft design, material, roll dimensions and required winding tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e5. Can it be used for thin film or battery materials?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese applications can be evaluated, but delicate materials require careful selection of the friction configuration and tension range. Provide your material specifications and operating conditions so XW Machinery can review the application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e6. Can XW Machinery make a replacement for my existing slip shaft?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, we can evaluate a custom replacement using your original shaft drawing or measured dimensions. Key details include the core size, ring layout, bearing journals, shaft ends, drive connection and air inlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e7. Can the core size, friction ring width and shaft ends be customized?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese dimensions can be specified according to your cores, slit widths and machine interface. The final configuration should be confirmed from your drawing and winding requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e8.
