AirStar Bearings LLC, based in Sandusky, Ohio, provides specialized bearing components for equipment used in producing synthetic filament, fiber, film, and yarn. Core offerings include a separator roll that uses a hydrostatic bearing, keeping the rotating roll and stationary shaft separated by a thin film of pressurized air delivered through a hollow shaft. Its carbon-on-carbon construction is designed to tolerate intermittent overloads from wrap, tension, vibration, or brief loss of air, delivering long bearing life and very low friction at high speeds and in harsh environments. Its customers are manufacturers of synthetic filament, fiber, film, and yarn equipment, seeking reliable bearings to sustain uptime in high-speed and high-temperature processing. Its positioning in the motor vehicle manufacturing industry reflects a focus on advanced bearing solutions for demanding production lines. AirStar operates from Sandusky, Ohio as a mid-sized company.
