A specially shaped stainless-steel piston precisely fitted to a borosilicate-glass cylinder lets the Airpel-AB air bearing/ actuator provide “force without friction.” Pressurized air applied to the ...

Conventional stages with rolling steel bearings exhibit friction and other mechanical nonlinearities; they are also dependent on servo-loop filters (including sluggish integrator terms) which all ...

This video shows the principle and advantages of air bearing stages. Air bearing stages replace mechanical contact by a thin air film, avoiding wear, friction, vibration, and hysteresis effects. PI's ...

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, ...

Air-bearings have no rolling or sliding elements and deliver frictionless, non-contact motion, resulting in negligible reversal error, better flatness, and minimal wobble and eccentricity. All these ...

PI, a global leader in precision motion control and air bearing motion systems, offers the A-688 rotary stage, an advanced motorized, air-bearing based rotation stage, engineered for nanometer-scale ...
