SVECOM P.E. has created a new business unit,

SVECOM CARBON FIBER which uses the experience

gained over 50 years in shaft production combined

with the new technology of carbon fiber. This results

in a solution that maximizes the advantages of

reduced shaft body weights and high mechanical

performancs.

CARBON FIBER

The process involves a new production plant in

which shafts of various dimensions can be

manufactured to meet customers demand.

To produce carbon fiber, the carbon atoms are

bonded together in crystals that are more or less

aligned parallel to the long axis of the fiber as the

crystal alignment gives the fiber high strength-

to-volume ratio (making it strong for its size).

Several thousand carbon fiber's are bundled

together to form a tow, which may be used by

itself or woven into a fabric.

The properties of carbon fiber's, such as high

stiffness, high tensile strength, low weight, high

chemical resistance, high temperature tolerance

and low thermal expansion, make them very usefull

in shafts sector.

CARBON FIBER ROLLERS

This Carbon Fiber Pneumatic Lug Shaft is

recommended for unwind and rewind applications

when using cores.

It will increase productivity when compared to

existing steel shafts it has the advantage of being

lighter in weight, can be carried by a single

operator without assistance, and run at higher

critical speed.

The shaft body is made of high strength carbon

fiber, fabricated through filament winding

technology.

The shaft has two important features:

the lug seats are made of new technology

high-strength steel designed to avoid any

possibility of surface cracking, and to distribute

the load uniformly over the whole carbon section.

Idler carbon fiber rollers with a wide range of

surface treatments.

We can provide non-expanding rollers utilising

carbon fiber technology to produce rollers up to:

Maximum diameter of 400 mm.

Maximum length of 6000 mm.

Dimensions and specifications can be designed

to meet customers exact requirements.

The carbon fibre body-ends have a specially

designed steel-carbon interface to safely transmit

the torque through the steel journal ends.

We provide expanding carbon fiber shafts to

suit cores of a maximum 400 mm diameter and

up to 6000 mm in lenght.

PULTRUSION/COMPOSITE

SHAFT

We have developed, with the help of our American affiliate

Goldenrod Corporation an extremely rigid, lightweight carbon

fiber shaft in the easy-to-use Multiple Bladder design.

Long high modulus carbon fiber's, wetted with epoxy, are

kept straight and pulled through voids in the aluminium profile.

After drying, the fiber's become set at zero degrees, resulting

in an extremely lightweight air shaft with the rigidity of steel.

The carbon is completely protected on all sides by aluminium

and cannot be cut into or damaged.

Due to its low inertia, the shafts can quickly accelerate and

run at very high speeds that are unapproachable with steel or

even wound carbon lug models.

The pultrusion design is available in 3�, 4�, 5�, 6�, and 6,75�

diameters.

Always safe and always reliable!
