Well, 20 A doesn't sound too bad, but the air bearings sound like
it might have been a precision drive on an optical or wafer handling
machine, and therefore, not much power. You might look into
selling them for megabucks and buying a nice set of ballscrews
or whatever. If these are Dover air bearing slides, or other name
brand, they could be worth thousands of dollars each.

No, it probably just means how many poles there are.
