Free Locking Bottom Knives

Free Locking Bottom Knives feature a plain bore design without an internal locking mechanism, allowing them to be mounted directly on filled shafts or expanding shafts. With an expanding shaft, the knife is securely positioned by the shaft's expansion mechanism without additional locking components.
These bottom knives are designed for slitting machines, label inspection systems, and rewinders and are suitable for precision slitting of plastic films, metal foils, adhesive tapes, labels, paper, paperboard, textiles, rubber, laminates, and nonwoven materials.
Installed on the bottom knife shaft, Free Locking Bottom Knives work with upper dished knives, knife holders, and pneumatic knife holders to form a complete shear slitting system. WINGCHONG KNIFE can also manufacture matching knife components for accurate system compatibility.
The knives undergo through-hardening heat treatment to provide uniform hardness, improving wear resistance, dimensional stability, and service life for continuous slitting applications.
