IBD Wickeltechnik

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.
