Flo-Motion™
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Flo-Motion Selection Process
1. Choose available air supply pressure to be used (up to 60 psi)
2. Determine total weight (load) of object to be moved (lbs)
3. Determine minimum quantity of FLO-MOTION units under load:

Qty FLO-MOTION=(Load/Air Pressure)/ 0.4
Example: 
Load = 120 lbs
Available Air Supply Pressure = 60 psi
Qty of FLO-MOTION = (120lbs / 60psi) / 0.4 = 5 FLO-MOTION units under load at 60 psi
This will determine the minimum number of FLO-MOTION units required to support the load. We recommend that this number be at least 9 to allow for the movement on a pattern. If the calculated quantity is less than 9, more FLO-MOTION units using less air pressure will be required.
