What is an air bearing or air caster?
Air bearings are also known as air Casters, they are one in the same. An air caster or air bearing is made of reinforced rubber. When the air bearing is deflated, the load rests on the landing pad in the center of the module .
On larger capacity models the air caster also includes landing pads in the the corners for added support. A seal is formed between the floor surface and the torus.
How air bearings Work?
These are connected through a pneumatic control unit, to a compressed air supply. Modules should be positioned as far apart as possible in order to optimize the weight distribution and load stability.
once the modules have been positioned, the valves can be opened individually. The pressure in the air bearings can be increased slowly until they lift the load and it starts to float. The load can then be moved and be positioned exactly as required.
