Article Air Bearing Benefits: Lack of Maintenance
Only the very minimum of maintenance is required. A regular check of air supply and coolant systems is all that is necessary to ensure complete reliability
Article What is an Air Bearing?
An air bearing is a non-contacting system where a gas film (typically air) acts as the lubricant that separates the two surfaces in relative motion
Article Air Bearing Benefits: Long Bearing Life
With no mechanical contact and a clean air supply, free from oil and water, bearing life is dramatically increased
Article Air Bearing Benefits: Improved Surface Finish
Air Bearing Benefits: Improved Surface Finish
Article Air Bearing Benefits: Low Thermal Growth
Low friction, constant air flow and efficient power transmission result in minimal thermal growth
Article Why use an Air Bearing?
Precision of air bearing manufacture
Article Air Bearing Benefits: High Speed
Low shear forces within the air bearing allow extremely high rotational speeds with minimal loss of power and very low heat generation. Speeds can exceed 300,000 rpm
Article Air Bearing Benefits: Cleanliness
Air is the only lubrication used; therefore air bearing technology is ideal where there must be no contamination of the work piece or working environment
Article Air Bearing Benefits: Large Load Capacity
Air bearings can support heavy loads, allowing them to be applied to many industrial machine tool applications
Article Air Bearing Benefits: Reduced Vibration
Only minimal levels of vibration and audible noise are produced when running an air bearing spindle
