Air Bearing Table Design

Oav roller air bearing.

Air bearing table design.

We offer a line of flat rectangular air bearings designed to meet the non contact requirements at low cost while yielding high performance. Air bearing tables allow your production facility flow to become better especially when it comes to cycle time and the time it takes to do product change over. Outstanding stiffness and maximized performance. Oav air bearings surface design equally distributes the air and pre load over a entire surface area.

An air bearing is a non contacting system where a gas film usually air acts as the lubricant that separates the two surfaces in relative motion typically this being a rotating shaft and a stationary radial journal or axial thrust bearing. Air bearings also known as aerostatic or aerodynamic bearings are fluid bearings that use a thin film of pressurized gas to provide a low friction load bearing interface between surfaces.
