摘要: A device (10) for non-contact support of a continuous moving web (38) . material employs an air clamp stabilizer that includes Coanda slot (18) and backstep (16) is located downstream the direction airflow extending from (18). This configuration permits jet to expand create additional suction force. Vortex formation may also occur which further contributes strength As passes stabilizer, area rides on bearing maintained above surface (12A,12B,14) (16).
