All in one place
DIENES takes pride in adding high-quality custom air shafts to our product line to fit your new or existing application. With spare parts in stock and ready to ship, we provide our shafts with industry-leading customer service. Available air shafts include multi-chamber air shafts, air shafts with grips, coreless rewind air shafts, self-centering air shafts, and multi-bladder pneumatic shaft adapters.
The multi-chamber air shaft is our most popular option, allowing for a variety of gripping sleeves to handle all types of applications. Its robust design is available in three body materials: aluminum, steel, and carbon fiber, making it suitable for heavy loads, high speeds, and lightweight applications.
All our expandable air shafts are available with different contact strip materials to better fit the application.
