Airbearings

When it comes to Air Bearings, IBS Precision Engineering offers the best solution for your application: the porous New Way Air Bearings. This Air Bearing is very reliable and has unique qualities. The porous material, for instance, ensures equal air distribution under the bearing. And porous air bearings are considerably better than conventional orifice bearings as far as bearing capacity, rigidity and air consumption go. In addition, the damping and crash resistance increase. The porous material makes the bearings less sensitive to damage.

Air Bearings provide new options 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.

Zero friction
Because of zero static friction, infinite resolution and very high repeatability are possible.

Zero wear
Non-contact means virtually zero wear resulting in consistent machine performance and low particle generation.
