Carbon Fiber Air Shafts
Lightweight composite air shafts ... with custom performance by design.

NimCor offers an outstanding line of precision engineered carbon fiber shafts with unique performance features. Because NimCor winds carbon fiber tubes in-house, we can control the strength and stiffness of your composite shafts using various fibers, resins and winding techniques. This design freedom results in higher strength-to-weight ratios, lower shaft weights, and improved ergonomics.

In-house Engineering and Manufacturing Makes a Big Difference!

• Specializing in thermoset filament winding
• High-strength PAN-based carbon fibers
• Ultra-high modulus pitch-based carbon fibers
• Structural epoxy resin systems matched to operating environment
• Durable resin outer coatings readily available
• Bearing journals and metallic mounting features expertly bonded to composite tubes
• Excellent for low-inertia idlers, print sleeve adapters and anilox roll bases

NimCor can produce composite tubes up to 18 feet long and 21 inches in diameter. Our manufacturing engineers are experts in using various fiber and resin systems; allowing us to custom design air shafts to meet today's most demanding applications.
