Air cushion bearing unit MLS series

for heavy loadsfor transporters

Solving Air Bearing Modules (also called air skates, air casters or air skids) are designed to handle a variety of heavy loads and machinery. Air Bearing Modules are mainly chosen for less-frequent movement activities, whilst Solving Air Film Movers are installed for regular handling of heavy loads. Solving Air Bearing Modules - are easy to use - can move loads of up to 360 tons - are available in sets of 4 or 6 Fill in the form to request more information about buying a Solving Air Bearing Module set. Solving standard Air Bearing Module Systems are perfect for handling almost any load from a few thousand kilograms up to 360 tons on a virtually friction-free film of air. Typical applications where Air Bearing Modules are frequently used are: moving new machines into production facilities, taking out old machines from production areas, handling production equipment inside factories, moving ships around repair or production facilities, and container handling. Generally, four or six air bearing modules are used to move large and heavy loads; to ensure maximum stability, at least three air bearing modules are required. They should be placed under the load, as far apart as possible, roughly dividing the weight of the load evenly between them. The modules are then connected to the control unit and the compressed air supply. Pressure regulators within the control unit are used to increase the air pressure in each module until the load is raised off the floor. A thin film of air is then formed under each module virtually eliminating friction and allowing a heavy load to be moved and positioned with ease and accuracy.
