Air bearing modules

Flexible membranes, constructed from layers of neoprene bonded to a rigid aluminium backing plate, inflate by a few centimetres to lift the load off the floor, and then the air escapes between the membrane and the floor to create a virtually-frictionless medium on which to move large machinery.

Damage to a factory floor surface can be avoided, and the horizontal force required to move the load 'on air' can be as low as 2 to 5kg per ton.

The complete kit of parts supplied includes load modules, interconnecting hoses and couplings, control box and the supply hose required to connect to a compressor or factory air supply.
