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

3.2 Structure of an air cushion module
An air cushion module consists of a supporting plate (5) and an air cushion (1 – 4). 3
Fig. 3.2 - 1 Structure of the air cushion module
(1) Rubber bellows
(2) Aluminium plate
(3) Central support
(4) Corner support
(5) Load supporting plate
(6) Hose connecting nozzle
(7) Entry holes
The reinforced-fiber rubber bellows (1) is vulcanized onto the anodized aluminum plate (2). 3
When deflated, the air cushion rests on the central support (3). Larger air cushions are also
supplied with corner supports (4). 3
The air cushion is mounted in a rigid load supporting plate (5), again made from aluminum.
Together, the air cushion and load supporting plate form the air cushion module. 3
