Product Profile of Air Cushion Mobility Systems
Elektromag group of companies is the manufacturer of industrial magnetic equipment, vibrating equipment, mineral processing equipment, crane control gear, machine tool accessories and other industrial products in india. For effortless movement and accurate positioning of heavy loads air cushion mobility systems from elektromag are used. Elektromag - airbarge offers a modular system of standard load bearing platforms and containers that float on an air cushion. They possess the following features:
- They are capable of moving heavy loads like machinery, presses, engines, transformers, fixtures, moulds, motors, vehicles, racks etc
- These units are said to provide frictionless movement in any direction for loads of any size and weight when powered from a standard shop air supply.
- They can be installed on a variety of structural components including air pads, air tables, air pallets and air vans.
- They have a capacity of a minimum of 4 caster air pallets with a capacity of 5 tonnes & 8 caster air pallets[maximum] with a capacity of 80 tonnes
- Elektromag - airbarge" air casters employ air seals which has a flexible wear foot mounted below a completely protected inflatable hanger.
- Elektromag - airbarge units are powered by industrial shop air systems which supply air at a nominal pressure of 7 kgs. /cm.Sq. [100 psi].
- Due to the large supporting area under the load [foot-print], the unit pressures in this system are far lower than those produced by wheeled vehicles, being of the order of 1.5 bar [20 psi] and not exceeding 3.5 bar [50 psi]. This reduces wear and tear on the shop floor
- It has omni-directional mobility as any load on it can be moved around in any direction
