Standard porous air bearings from New Way come in various shapes and sizes. Porous technology makes the bearings more robust, easier to use, and affordable. Porous air bearings issue air from millions ...

Aerostatic bearings utilise a thin film of pressurised gas to support mechanical loads without direct contact between moving surfaces, offering exceptional precision and minimal friction. Their ...

Most porous-metal bearings consist of either bronze or iron which has interconnecting pores. These voids take up to 10 to 35% of the total volume. In operation, lubricating oil is stored in these ...

Seeing a heavy load slide around on nearly frictionless air bearings is pretty cool; it’s a little like how the puck levitates on an air hockey table. Commercial air bearings are available, of course, ...

The accuracy of motion systems used in precision automation applications is significantly dependent on top-tier positioning stages and motion controllers. When designing a next-generation machine or ...
