Air caster transport is a way of movement in which a wafer-thin air film is created (and retained) between the air cushion and the floor through controlled leakage in the membrane. Floating your machine probably isn’t a goal. You want to move your machine as easily, safely and cost-effectively as possible. For this you need at least 3 air cushion elements. By allowing the weight to float, these virtually eliminate friction. You can easily move your machine in a floating state. Compare it with a wheel, this can only be given a function if it is attached to something.
Air casters can be integrated into transport solutions or a machine or machine part where movement is needed, during maintenance or to make a change in configuration. In some cases they can be used as an OEM part, but usually they’re used as a tool in a production or service environment.
To make air casters more accessible, we offer a number of standard solutions that are cheaper and faster than our custom solutions. With these products you can still, to a certain extent, determine the size yourself, with which you can shape the solution to your movement problem.
With standard solutions you can determine the dimensions for a large part and the type of caster to be used. If you need help understanding whether a standard solution can work for your needs, our application specialists and engineers are ready to create a customized solution for you.

Aerofilm Systems designs, develops and produces air casters and air caster transport systems. This form of internal transport is the ideal solution for moving and positioning light to very heavy objects in a safe, ergonomic and cost-effective way. It is also ideal for sensitive and therefore often expensive objects, because air casters do not cause vibrations during movement.
