Air cushion vehicle is the short form of air cushion levitation truck, air cushion levitation truck is the use of gas film technology to lift and move the load, it is widely used in the field of aviation, precision or heavy instrument handling, such as airships to the launch pad.
When the gas cushion inflatable to reach a certain pressure, the operation of the device and the ground completely without friction, and thus have the performance of anti-vibration and anti-friction static electricity. Most of all, it is labor-saving, with only five ten-thousandths of a percent of the load required for handling.
It means that only one kilogram of force is needed to carry two tons of heavy objects. This kind of transporter is especially suitable for heavy loads that are not easy to move flexibly, as well as the handling of large precision equipment that cannot withstand vibration and has high requirements for smoothness.
Expanded Information:
While air cushion load-bearing technology has been in existence for more than thirty years from the very beginning, its use has been gradually spreading with industrial development. Today in Europe and the United States, the air cushion bearing device has become an important equipment in the industrial production process.
Domestic equipment manufacturing industry level, especially aerospace, aviation, shipping, rail transportation and other industries of rapid development, the domestic demand for air cushion bearing system is growing.
In the air cushion bearing system products, the most complex is the heavy duty air cushion vehicle.
