IBD Wickeltechnik
Winding Shafts
IBD clamping shafts hold the core from the inside. Air inflates bladders or hoses in the shaft, pushing lugs or strips out to grip the core quickly, centrally and without slipping – then release it in seconds for the next roll.

The range
The Shaft Range
PSW-F Profile Shafts
Light aluminium profile shafts with clamping strips, for sleeves Ø70–200 mm at medium load.
- Light to handle
- Medium loads
PSW-Z Heavy-Duty Shafts
Robust shafts with lugs for high loads – Z-50 to Z-100 and larger – in aluminium, steel or carbon fibre.
- High loads
- Wide range of sizes
PMS Precision Shafts
Pneumo-mechanical shafts for precise centring of the core.
- Precise centring
PSW-FS Flat Hose Shafts
Shell shafts with flat hoses for coreless winding or thin cores.
- Coreless or thin cores
MFW Differential Shafts
Friction shafts that wind several narrow rolls at once, each at constant tension.
- Many rolls, one shaft
- Constant tension
Standard Aluminium Shafts
Quick, simple and low-priced shafts from standard aluminium profiles, for short delivery times.
- Short lead times
Adapters and Bearing Units
Shaft adapters for larger cores, tyre adapters and flange bearing units.
- Use bigger cores on the same shaft
Why IBD winding shafts
Fast, Central, Secure
Quick Changes
Inflate to clamp, deflate to release – no tools needed.
Runs True
Even expansion keeps the core central for high-speed winding.
Light or Heavy
Aluminium profiles for easy handling, steel or carbon fibre for high loads and long spans.
Serviceable
Bladders, lugs and valves can be replaced – spare parts are kept for each design.
How to choose
Choosing a Shaft
Core Size
Tell us the core inside diameter and material – cardboard, plastic or steel.
Load and Span
Roll weight, width and bearing distance decide the body size and material.
Speed
Higher speeds need precise centring and balancing.
Winding Several Rolls?
A differential (MFW) shaft keeps each roll at the same tension.
