Carbon–hydrogen bonds that are axial in one configuration become equatorial in the other, and vice versa. At room temperature the two chair conformations rapidly equilibrate . The proton NMR spectrum of cyclohexane is a singlet at room temperature, with no separation into separate signals for axial and equatorial hydrogens.
Substituents on a cyclohexane ring prefer to reside in the equatorial position to the axial. The difference in Gibbs free energy (ΔG) between the higher energy conformation (axial substitution) and the lower energy conformation (equatorial substitution) is the A-value for that particular substituent.

Cyclohexane is a colourless, flammable liquid with a distinctive detergent-like odor, reminiscent of cleaning products (in which it is sometimes used). Cyclohexane is mainly used for the industrial production of adipic acid and caprolactam, which are precursors to nylon. [5] Cyclohexyl (C 6 H 11) is the alkyl substituent of cyclohexane and is ...
When ring flip happens completely from chair-to-chair, hydrogens that were previously axial (blue H) turn equatorial & equatorial ones (red H) turn axial. Pink and orange arrows show how one can imagine how carbons are being "pushed" as one conformation turns into another. Source for the conformation names & claim of lowest/highest energy:

The chair conformation minimizes both angle strain and torsional strain by having all carbon-carbon bonds at 110.9° and all hydrogens staggered from one another. [2] The conformational changes that occur in a cyclohexane ring flip take place over several stages. Structure D (10.8 kcal/mol) is the highest energy transition state of the process.
