AirStar Bearings
AirStar Bearings is a manufacturer of hydrostatic separator rolls, or air bearings, with a unique carbon-carbon interface.
AirStar separator rolls
AirStar separator rolls (sometimes called air bearings) are used in various types of textile machinery. They are typically used in synthetic yarn extrusion and drawing processes. They are ideal for fine filament drawing, draw-twisting, texturing, and winding equipment. They are used to guide and turn both hot and cold threads, yarns, wires, and filaments.

Serving you since 1968
AirStar Separator Rolls have been engineered and manufactured in Sandusky, Ohio, for more than 45 years.
New Departure Hyatt, a former division of General Motors, began production of AirStar bearings in 1968 after six years of intensive engineering, research, and development, with the cooperative efforts of engineers at multiple GM divisions and research laboratories.
