AIR BEARINGS
IBS Precision Engineering is exclusive representative of New Way Air Bearings in Europe, offering porous media air bearings, the answer when precision motion is required.
With standard and customized solutions varying from air bearings and bushings to air bars and slides, IBS Precision Engineering provides new opportunities for designers to push the envelope on precision, high speed and high acceleration applications, while avoiding the traditional bearing related problems of friction, wear and lubricants.
Unique strength of porous media air bearings are:
- Porous material, considerably better than conventional orifice air bearings due to better air distribution
- Reliable
- Better crash resistance and damping
- Zero friction
- Zero wear
- Straighter motion
- Silent and smooth operation
- Eliminates oil
- High speeds and acceleration
- Low air consumption
- Offering both standard and customised solutions
