D6X Differential Air Shaft Important Safety Instructions When using this product, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury. When using this product with any other equipment or machinery, all safety requirements stipulated by that equipment or machinery manufacturer must be followed.
D6X Differential Air Shaft General Shaft Care Maintenance Schedule • During operation shifts, use compressed air to keep shaft free from dust and debris. • As needed, remove sticky residue. Use a soft cloth damp with a mild solvent, such as rubbing alcohol.
D6X Differential Air Shaft Pressure Control Valve System Successful operation of the Tidland Differential Shaft series depends upon proper internal air pressure Variable pressure is required in order to control the air pressure on the tension segments as the roll diameter increases. As the roll diameter grows, the required rate of pressure increase will diminish due to the weight of the roll and friction between the roll and shaft.

D6X Differential Air Shaft As operating air pressure is applied to the shaft, the factory-set inlet valve causes a drop in pressure as air enters the bladder. The exhaust bleeder valve controls the amount of that pressure drop. The larger the exhaust opening, the greater the pressure drop, resulting in lower internal bladder pressure.
D6X Differential Air Shaft Installation 1) Install shaft as required for your application. 2) Determine how many core stops are required. (2 per core in each tray) 3) Remove excess core stops or move them to the end of the tray. Ensure all core stop screws are tight to prevent motion while machine is running.

D6X Differential Air Shaft Step 1 – Set the Core Stops Position core stops in each tray so that the core will have one stop on either side of the core per tray. Step 2 – Lock Sequence SET SCREW Use SET SCREW (M4 X 0.7mm) to lock the core stop in place axially.
D6X Differential Air Shaft To Replace Bladders • Bladder material supplied for replacement may be longer than the required finished length. Do not cut to length until instructed. • Use a small amount of LOCTITE 222 on the threads of all screws and tighten to torque specifications noted in brackets.

• Do not attempt to remove the bleeder valve housing from the shaft. If repair is necessary, return the shaft to Maxcess (see Service at end of document). • Location of valve varies due to custom shaft configurations.

D6X Differential Air Shaft Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause Recommended Solution Leak or obstruction Remove core stop tray from shaft. Core stop tray does not lift in air system. Check bladder for holes, deformation or when air is applied. debris around air fittings. Air tubing not Remove cover from core stop tray and connected under...
