Air casters and air caster transport systems are the optimal solution for moving and positioning objects of various weights in a safe, ergonomic and cost-effective way. They provide the best solutions for safe, ergonomic, and cost-effective object movement and positioning. Air casters and transport systems provide the best solutions for safe, ergonomic, and cost-effective object movement and positioning. A compact air motor with easy installation and high power-to-size ratio ensures needed simplicity.
Aerofilm Systems, with headquarters in The Netherlands, has since 1981 developed. The manufacturing air casters and air caster transport systems for moving and positioning heavy objects. Hovering on a thin air layer via aircasters minimizes floor-object friction to nearly zero. A technology comparable to a hovercraft.
This gives the operator the ability to move even the heaviest objects with ease. Air casters, devoid of movement-induced vibrations, serve as an ideal choice for transporting delicate or valuable items.
Safety, ergonomics, and efficiency in terms of cost and space were some of the key decision factors. When the team at Aerofilm began looking for a reliable partner offering easy-to-install air motors. The Atlas Copco ATEX-certified range of LZB vane air motors ended up being the selection of choice.
“Simplicity of installation and operation is important. As we need compressed air for our aircasters, by using air motors, we only need one type of energy in our systems. Atlas Copco air motors have a clean design which is compact yet offers multiple torque options within the same power range”, says Project Leader Dennis Smolder, Product Development & Manufacturing
LZB vane air motors from Atlas Copco are compact and lightweight and need only one-sixth the space of an electric motor to deliver the same power. Their compact design ensures easy installation and a high power-to-size ratio. The Atlas Copco LZB vane air motors, equipped with slim, multistep planetary gears and available in both steel and stainless-steel drives, exhibit robustness and reliability. These motors are engineered to endure even the most challenging environments.
