What is the air wheels?

Air Caster is a device that can be used to lift heavy loads in a similar way to a hovering, although usually only on surfaces that are smooth and flat. Typical air systems consist of several toroidal airbags and compressor that draw them. When they are drawn, the airbags can create a positive seal on the ground if it is smooth enough. In the end, a thin air cushion is created between the device and the ground. This results in very small friction, which can allow to move heavy loads without much effort. Platforms can be constructed to lift virtually any amount of weight if enough compressed air is available. Individual wheels can also be placed under existing platforms, usually in sets at least four. Other wheels can be used to raise heavier loads, although four are usually required for stability.

The main advantage associated with Air Casters is reduced friction. Because the load runs on a very thin air pillow,Traditional roller wheels can be obtained a significant reduction in friction. In many circumstances, one individual can safely move a burden than many workers who would otherwise be needed. Momentum may become a problem due to lack of friction, so when stopping very large loads, care is usually needed.

Unlike platforms that use traditional wheels or other suspension methods, air rails do not occupy any physical contact with the Earth during movement. This may result in a less chance of sparking compared to other types of wheels, which can be useful in working in a dangerous environment. The only part of the airy wheel that contacts Earth is usually a polyurethane airbag, which is usually raised from the ground during operation.

hovercraft to use skirt to contain their air cushions so can be used on any surface but air wheels usually cannot fUngrate on nothing that resembles rough terrain. They are mainly used in a warehouse and industrial environment with smooth concrete floors. Sometimes it is possible to use metal or heavy plastic to move the air wheel through the floor that is not smooth, which can allow the transport of load out over the rough, brushed concrete. If plastic foils are used for this purpose, it must usually be very strong.
