Air Bearing and Caster Information - Do Air Bearings
Work Individually?
No. Air bearings need to be coupled with other air bearings, in sets of
three or more, to
form a system that can handle an appropriate load. An individual air
bearing is not able to balance a load on its own - it will tip easily -
nor is it capable of being adjusted to accommodate variations in load
weight and irregular shape. The strength of air bearing lifting power
becomes apparent when they are grouped together and their collective
lifting abilities are combined to offer some formidable lifting
capacities.
When air bearings are grouped together to form an air bearing system,
they then offer some real lifting power. The beauty of using air bearings
in groups of three or more is that they can be individually adjusted to
suit the properties of the load they are carrying.
