We’ve got to admit that watching [Ben Krasnow]’s new video on air bearings is tough. We found our eyes constantly checking the spherical air bearing in the foreground, which for the first eight ...

Seeing a heavy load slide around on nearly frictionless air bearings is pretty cool; it’s a little like how the puck levitates on an air hockey table. Commercial air bearings are available, of course, ...

As part of electromechanical, this pneumatic bearing press project demonstrate a straightforward application of pneumatic and some materials that are also used in industrial instrumentation. It ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Most motion applications use mechanical bearing guidance. However, there are many cases in which precision, angular ...

The accuracy of motion systems used in precision automation applications is significantly dependent on top-tier positioning stages and motion controllers. When designing a next-generation machine or ...

Properly sized ball and roller bearings are well suited to heavy loads and high speeds. There’s little or no need to be concerned about temperature rises on bearings, at least not under “normal” ...

Once viewed as "guideways for the rich and famous," air bearings use in the last two years has been driven by explosive growth in two application areas: flat panel displays and hard disk drives. But ...
