Move Stages, Seating and More on Air Bearings

A new white paper that describes the top 14 applications of air bearing (or “air caster”) technology has been published to airfloat.com. The white paper is based on Airfloat’s nearly 50 years of experience in the field. Below is an excerpt:

Arena Seating

Mobile seating sections have given versatility to auditoriums, sports arenas and large stadiums. Sensitive floors in these buildings give air bearings a major advantage over conventional wheels: air bearings allow easier movement without damaging the floor.

Stage, Theater and Showrooms

The combined advantages of low moving force and low floor loading make air bearings a practical tool for rotating stages and displays. A typical example of this use is a dinner theater in Florida, where a complete stage is moved into the audience.
