VL-type Air Bearings

 

The VL-type air bearing has a similar type of diaphragm to the standard A-type air bearing. However, that is where the similarity ends. While the A-type air bearing has an aluminum back-plate, the VL-type has a stainless steel load module into which the VL diaphram is machine-rolled and sealed during its construction. This makes the VL a sealed unit and should a replacement air bearing be necessary, a complete new unit is fitted instead.

Like the A-type air bearing, the VL-type has only sufficient lift to cause a state of flotation to take place under the load - sufficient to take the load off to its destination. It does not have any higher lift properties like the B-type.
