Tube Rolling Controls
Airetool rolling motors control tube expansion using accurately measured torque. They automatically stop expanding according to a predetermined setting. Torque control prevents over- and under-expansion of tubes, ensures uniformly tightened tube joints, and provides maximum holding strength for each tube. All Airetools include torque-sensing cams designed and manufactured specifically for tube-expanding applications.

Key Benefits of Airetool Rolling Motors
- Torque control: Automatically stops or adjusts rolling when the proper expansion torque is reached.
- Speed regulation: Maintains consistent RPM for uniform rolling.
- Repeatability: Ensures every tube is rolled to the proper specification.
- Operator safety: Reduces the chance of over-torque, tool kickback, and tube/sheet damage.
Types of Rolling Motors Available Through EGI
Pneumatic Rolling Controls
Pneumatic rolling motors from Airetool offer reliable, repeatable torque control for consistent tube expansion.
