Line shaft technology dates back to the 18th century and was literally the driving force behind the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century. Line shafts are still in use on many older paper and board machines. This course discusses the design and function of common line shafts used in the papermaking industry along with maintenance and safety guidelines.

At the end of this module, you will be able to:

  • List the two most common power sources for line shaft drives on paper and board machines
  • List the drive sections of a typical paper or board machine
  • Define the term "draw"
  • Explain the difference between cone pulley and non-pulley line shaft drive systems
  • Explain the purpose of helper drives
  • List the elements of a typical line shaft drive system maintenance program
  • Identify and describe safety hazards and safety guidelines for paper and board machine line shaft drives

The following key questions are answered in this module:

What is a line shaft drive system?
A line shaft system uses one prime mover to power the whole machine instead of a different one for each section

What is draw?
Draw is the speed difference between two adjacent sections of the paper machine

What are the types of line shaft drives?
There are two main types of line shaft drives: cone pulley drives and non-pulley direct drives. In both types, power is transmitted the length of the machine by a line shaft running parallel to the machine.

What is a helper drive?
Helper drives are electric motors installed on some parts of the machine to supply auxiliary driving energy

How are line shaft drives started up?
First, the line shaft drive is accelerated with all the machine sections unclutched or disconnected. Then, one by one, each section is accelerated up to speed by engaging or closing the section clutch.

Below is a transcript of the video sample provided for this module:

There are two main types of lines shaft drives. Cone pulley drives and non-pulley direct drives. In both types, power is transmitted the length of the machine by a line shaft, running parallel to the machine. Cone pulley drive systems, use cone-shaped pulleys and a long flat belt loop to power each section of the machine. In non-pulley direct drive systems, each section of the machine is connected to the line shaft by mechanical means. Including a gear unit driven by the line shaft that transfers power to an in-shaft. The in-shaft is connected to one of the rolls or cans in the section.

Ask a Question

Sorry, we're missing some information

How do I log in to watch a video that I have already paid for?

Easy! Moments after you purchase your pay-per-view (PPV) course, you'll receive an email with login details. Just click the link and log in with your user name and password and you're on your way!

I would like to have some of my employees take 5 of your driving related courses, how can i set this up?

We're in the process of making bulk purchases and purchases for multiple users easier. But for now, you can order multiple courses and just let us know who you'd like to assign courses to. With an email for each user, we can set up their training plans and make sure everyone gets the eLearning assignments they need.

How can I get your paper-making courses for free?

Well, we can't blame you for asking... And while we're a for-profit company, there are situations with students and certain educational organizations where we can help out with a selection of eLearning. However, our online courses are extremely economical. And our paper industry courses are in very high demand. So, without knowing more about your situation, we think you'll get loads of value from the $39 you'll spend on any of our premium courses.

Do you have eLearning in Portuguese?

Yes, we do! And in addition to primary English narration, we produce many courses in a growing number of languages, including Spanish, Chinese, Dutch, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Tamil, and Thai.

I'm unemployed, but I really like your eLearning. Do I get a certificate when I complete a course?

Yes! All of our courses allow you to print a completion certficate upon successfully passing the integrated test at the end of eLearning. In the future, we'll have badges for you to use in your LinkedIn profiles.
