Double E's sliding safety chucks for use in shafted applications are safer, easier to operate, and more rugged than tilting designs. These chucks slide open with a patented pushbutton mechanism. They only open in the upright position, so roll security is guaranteed. Chucks can be flange- or foot-mounted, fixed or with sidelay adjustment. Sidelay adjustment models, with a horizontal range up to 2˝ or 4˝, allow accurate roll positioning with easy handwheel operation. A fixed drive shaft option is also available. A special swivel base or rotary table is available for use with Double E safety chucks, allowing operators to pivot the chucks to compensate for baggy edges in the web material.
