ASSEMBLY DIAGRAM AND PARTS LIST Series 950GK/960GR configurations vary. The shaft shown here features removable journals: it may also be manufactured as a one-piece shaft design. Call for assistance with part numbers for your shaft. Please have your shaft serial number available when you call.
INSTALLATION Shaft Notes Tidland Slitter Shafts are designed to hold anvil rings in place during slitting operations. Install shaft as required for your specific application: you may need to install anvil rings prior to shaft installation. Before each operation, inspect the body and centering bars (Series 960 GR only) for scratches that may prevent the anvil rings from moving freely along the shaft.
OPERATION See your Tidland Knifeholder Manual for detailed knifeholder setup and operation. Do not inflate while shaft is rotating. To Deflate Shaft Do not deflate while shaft is rotating. Use the Tidland Air Release Tool for fixed valve shafts. Do not use finger to release air.
MAINTENANCE To Remove and Replace Anvil Rings If using an air shaft with Tidland e-Knifeholder, do not adjust or remove the ball detent set screws in the anvil rings. These are not fastening screws; they ensure continuity between the shaft and the anvil ring, which is required for proper operation of the e-Knifeholder.
MAINTENANCE Maintenance Schedule Daily Throughout the operation shift, use compressed air to keep shaft free from dust and debris. Use a mild solvent, rubbing alcohol, to remove any residue. Dry shaft thoroughly. Petroleum-based products will damage the inflation elements. NOTICE Do not use.
