LC-1000 Latching Roller Core Chuck Components
More Info- Custom manufacturing allows various bore sizes.
- Close tolerance fit, anodized aluminum end cap for roll stabilization.
- Heavy-duty roller cages keep rollers in alignment.
- Proprietary reinforced urethane rollers provide superior grip and excellent wear characteristics.
- Patented hex design forces rollers to grip cores concentrically – detents cause latching action.
- Split flange for more holding power and easy attachment.

LC-1000 Synopsis
After the roll of material (or empty core when rewinding)
is placed on the chuck, a slight rotation locks the core
in place without the need for air, keys, or special tools.
The chuck continually grips the core in response to the torque
being transmitted – more torque means higher grip force.
A simple turn of the roll in the non-web direction unlatches the
chuck for easy removal of the core (or completed roll when rewinding).
The patented design of the chuck's central hex features
detents, or small grooves, which cause the latching action, and
ensure concentric expansion. Rolls don’t bounce,
making it easier to control web tension and quality.
The LC–1000 does not depend on a bladder to
force the gripping elements to grip the core. Bladders are often
maintenance intensive, and don’t have the ability to provide
true concentric expansion.
Because the chuck has a minimal number of moving
parts, the LC-1000 latching roller core chuck requires very little,
if any, maintenance.
The durable urethane rollers provide non-slip engagement
of any core material without causing core damage.
Unlike the knock-in cones or wedges that the LC–1000
often replaces, this chuck is virtually impossible to
get stuck in a core.
Roll changes are much faster with this core
chuck. A simple turn removes the roll with the LC–1000.
With cones, at least one has to be physically removed to unload
the roll, wasting valuable time.
Narrow web converting and packaging processes benefit
most from the LC-1000 core chuck.
