Unwind and Rewind Applications

Strong and versatile, Tidland Lug Shafts deliver superior performance in the widest range of converting
applications. Unmatched for positive holding power, the lug-style design eliminates core damage, prevents roll slip
through fast startups and shutdowns, and minimizes vibration at high web speeds. Simple modular construction and standardized components mean quick off-the-shelf spares service and easy in-plant maintenance when necessary.
