Air Bearing and Caster Information - What Is A Load
Module Or Air Caster?
 A load module
or air caster is a machined assembly - either
lightweight aluminum or steel - that houses an air bearing.
Load modules - also known as air casters - are available for each size of air
bearing.
Load modules are fitted with inlet ports, or air flow
control valves, and contain air chambers that allow air to flow from the
inlet to the air bearing to cause pressurization and eventual flotation
to take place.
Shown to the right is a typical square aluminum air
caster module. The yellow part is the actual air caster load module and the black
inner section is the air bearing assembly.
