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.
Today, AirStar Separator Rolls are manufactured by AirStar Bearings LLC, a partnership located in Sandusky, Ohio.
Throughout the years there have been many new designs and design enhancements made through cooperative efforts with AirStar customers.
Our goal is to satisfy our customers’ needs and exceed their expectations.
AirStar separator rolls, or air bearings, are used in various types of textile machinery, but typically in synthetic yarn extrusion and drawing processes. Our bearings are ideal for fine filament drawing, draw-twisting, texturing, and winding equipment, to guide and turn both hot and cold threads, yarns, wires, and filaments.
