For extremely accurate linear or rotary motion, flat air bearings are the ideal components. They offer a non-contact, frictionless bearing solution with zero wear.
Our engineers can guide you on the right component for your application.
Air bearings are tested by our expert measurement team.
Solutions designed for your application.
Whether your challenge is precision, speed or environment, we can offer unmatched experience.
Our Flat Air Bearings were the original standard, off the shelf, Porous Media Air Bearing product line. These versatile Air Bearings are available in round or rectangular configurations, ideal for frictionless motion control in a wide array of applications.
Flat Round Porous Media Air Bearings allow anyone to design and build their own custom Air Bearing assemblies. The round configuration makes the most efficient use of standard raw materials and ultra-precision manufacturing techniques, ensuring low cost standard product availability. In addition to the standard product line (shown), custom Flat Round Air Bearings are also available.
Flat Rectangular Air Bearings are designed to carry high loads while maximizing the load bearing surface through a gimballed mounting system. These Air Bearings can be mounted on ball mounts, providing a self-levelling interface between the Air Bearing and the guide surface. For some linear applications, the rectangular profile provides a more efficient bearing surface alignment.
