Different applications require different types of air bearings, each with their unique features, optimized for specific needs in precision motion, positioning, and transport. They provide outstanding bearing solutions avoiding the traditional bearing-related problems of friction, wear and lubricants. One of the greatest advantages is that air bearings provide new options for designers to push the envelope on precision, high speed, and high acceleration applications.

𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗔𝗶𝗿 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀:
  • Zero friction and wear; better crash resistance and damping
  • Supports high speeds and acceleration
  • Ensures straighter motion (unlike rolling element bearings insensitive to surface finishes and guide irregularities)
  • Eliminates oil; positive air pressure self-cleaning in dusty environments
  • Performs a silent and smooth operation
  • Low air consumption
  • Maintenance free
  • Cleanroom compatible
