In today's demanding manufacturing environment, precision is paramount. Air bearings offer a superior solution for applications where friction and wear must be minimized. By utilizing a thin layer of compressed air, these bearings enable frictionless motion, resulting in exceptional accuracy and repeatability.
Benefit | Impact | Figures |
---|---|---|
Reduced friction | Smaller forces required for motion | >90% reduction in friction |
Eliminated wear | Increased component lifespan | Extended bearing life by 10-100 times |
High accuracy | Precise positioning and reduced variation | Sub-micron accuracy |
Step | Action | Considerations |
---|---|---|
Design and selection | Determine application requirements and select appropriate bearing type | Load capacity, speed, size |
Installation | Ensure proper alignment and air supply | Leveling and vibration isolation |
Operation and maintenance | Monitor air pressure and lubricate as necessary | Clean air supply, regular inspection |
