AIR BEARINGS

When precision motion or positioning is required, porous media air bearings provide an outstanding solution with proven performance advantages. They are a natural choice for applications in coordinate measuring machines, precision machine tools, semiconductor wafer processing machines, and other clean room, high speed, and precision positioning environments. For roll2roll manufacture, they also offer a clean, contactless and extremely stable transport solution. Key features Zero friction & zero wear; better crash resistance and damping Straighter motion (unlike rolling element bearings insensitive to surface finishes & guide irregularities) Silent and smooth operation Eliminates oil; positive air pressure self-cleaning in dusty environments Support high speeds and acceleration
