Lightweight, precise rotation, long lifespan for cost reduction and safety measures! Usable in clean rooms as well.
The "Air Capsule" is an ultra-lightweight air shaft that features a hollow shaft with an integrated structure of the journal section and the main body, into which a high-density urethane capsule is inserted.
It allows for precise rotation without core wobble, making it less prone to failure and ensuring a long lifespan. It is highly compatible with metal and plastic cores, enabling the secure transmission of high torque.
Currently, we have a website showcasing case studies available! You can view it from the link below!

【Features】
■ Approximately 50% lighter compared to the lug-type tube (with the same material)
■ Suitable for use in clean rooms
■ Reduces core wobble by fixing the core at the axis center as the force point
■ Enables use in a vacuum by utilizing high-density urethane
■ Achieves lightweight design (e.g., 15 kg for a total length of 2340 mm)
The air shaft in the photo has a total length of 2000 mm and weighs 14.4 kg. By using urethane molded parts for the core gripping section and CFRP for the main shaft, we have realized a lightweight air shaft.
