About New Way Air Bearings: |
New Way manufactures a complete line of porous air bearing products including Flat Air Bearings, Cylindrical Air Bushings, Vacuum Preloaded Air Bearings, Radial Air Bearings, End Supported Air Bearing Slides, Dovetail Air Bearing Slides and Conveyor Air Bearings. These technically superior bearings offer such features as zero friction and zero wear to provide a straighter motion and long lasting smooth silent operation. The Advantages of Porous Media Unlike conventional orifice compensation, New Way Porous Media Air Bearings control the airflow across the entire bearing surface through millions of holes in the porous material. Porous carbon has been found to be one of the best materials for this purpose, producing an ideal supply of uniform air pressure across the face of the bearing while automatically restricting and damping the air flow at the same time. The carbon surface also provides greater bearing protection if there is an air supply failure, and allows the bearings to be moved during air failure without damaging the support surface. Why use New Way Air Bearings instead of roller bearings? Zero Friction: Infinite resolution for sub-nanometer repeatability. High Performance: High Speed, high stiffness, straighter motion, averaging of guide surface errors. Zero Wear: Non-contact for zero wear, and no particle generation. Silent and Smooth: No vibration. No Lubricant: No mess, positive air pressure pushes dust away. Robust: Performance not affected by scratches, and no damage to guide surface if run without air. Porous Media: More uniform air pressure than orifice air bearings. Inexpensive: Flat air bearings, air bushings, radial air bearings, air slides, and air conveyors in stock. Easy to Use: New Way provides everything for easy setup and use.
