- About IBS
Frictionless, unconstrained motion for a variety of applications. From simulating zero gravity environments to use in air simulators, they offer accurate positioning and frictionless motion.
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 Spherical Air Bearings are ideal for use in aerospace and defence applications and are able to support a sphere on a thin layer of air, providing all the benefits of frictionless motion.
These non-contact Air Bearings provide for infinite resolution, nanometer error motions, high speed, high stiffness, zero wear and smooth, silent operation without vibration. Further, no lubrication is required. The Porous Media technology distributes air pressure uniformly across the entire bearing surface through millions of sub-micron sized holes, while simultaneously restricting and damping the air flow. A vacuum pre-load can also be added. The result is a whole new level of accuracy and control.
