Winding
The winding technique is already an established means of manufacturing tanks and drive shafts. Recent process adaptations have made it possible to increase the number of fibres and therefore further decrease processing times. Online soaking in combination with resin mixing systems has now asserted itself alongside so-called “dry winding” followed by infiltration. The use of modern technologies such as the winding of bindered fibres or pre-impregnated fibre tapes significantly expands the potential spectrum of component complexity.

Winded drive shafts developed by LZS
LZS has a wealth of experience in the field of winded drive shafts. This includes high-performance aircraft engine shafts (left-hand photo) and universal shafts for rail applications (right-hand photo). The overall system is always our main point of reference, with the intelligent selection of a suitable load application system time and again proving to be the key to success.
