Compressed air is supplied to the air cushion transporting system from a central unit. The air
pressure is adjusted to suit the load on each air cushion by the associated pressure regulator (4). 2
The pressure regulator keeps the pressure at an almost constant level, while the air consumption
fluctuates slightly. 2

3 Air cushion technology
3.1 Basic principles
The effect of blowing in compressed air is as follows: 3
Fig. 3 - 1 The rubber bellows inflates
The ring-shaped rubber bellows inflates and fills the gap between the load to be transported and
the ground. 3
Fig. 3 - 2 The air cushion rises
Once the rubber bellows has created a seal with the floor, the air pressure in the space inside the
bellows increases, thus raising the air cushion and the load to be transported. 3
Fig. 3 - 3 The air cushion slides along
Air flows out between the rubber bellows and the floor, forming a thin film of air. The load slides
over this film with practically no friction. 3
