Safety Chucks
IBD safety chucks support the winding shaft at each end and pass the drive or brake torque to it. The top opens so the shaft can be lifted straight out – and locks closed so it can’t come loose while turning.

Why IBD safety chucks
Safe, Fast Roll Changes
Locks Shut
A safety lock stops the chuck opening while the shaft is turning.
Lift Straight Out
The hinged top opens fully for crane or hoist loading.
Wear Parts
VT chucks have exchangeable wear parts, so you replace the insert, not the chuck.
Sliding Versions
SKL sliding chucks move sideways to line up the shaft.
How to choose
Choosing a Safety Chuck
Shaft Weight
Include the full roll – the chuck carries shaft and material.
Torque
Drive or brake torque at the shaft decides the size as much as weight.
Square Size
Match the insert to the shaft journal square.
Turret Winders
A handwheel lock is recommended where the chuck turns with the turret.
