For frictionless rotary motion, these porous media air bearings are the ideal component. They offer high speed, high precision and no 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.
Radial Air Bearings are the ideal component for building frictionless rotary motion. These air bearings provide a fast, made-to-order solution. In either concave or convex configurations, the air bearings are ideal for a range of rotary applications, giving you all the differential advantages of air bearings that you require: high speed, high precision, no friction, no wear, no need for lubrication, excellent velocity control, and no noise.
Radial Air Bearings – Concave
Our Concave Radial Air Bearings are configured to ride along the outer diameter (OD) of your rotating artefact. Concave Air Bearings are designed to support the rotating artefact from the outside.
Radial Air Bearings – Convex
Like its Concave counterpart, our Convex Air Bearings are configured to ride on the inner diameter (ID) of your rotating artefact. The key difference is that Convex Air Bearings are designed to support the rotating artefact from the inside, as opposed to Concave Radial Air Bearings which support it from the outside.
W-Profile
Our W-Profile Radial Air Bearing profile features a Concave or Convex radius cut across the width of the Air Bearing.
L-Profile
The L-Profile Radial Air Bearing profile features a Concave or Convex radius cut across the length of the Air Bearing, to meet the needs of your application and the bearing-to-shaft ratio of your specific configuration.
