New Way flat Air Bearings can be readily used to create custom air stages The gimbaled mount allows for great flexibility in tolerance and threaded ball studs make alignments easy. This flexibility makes it easy to initiate their use in prototype design. They can be readily replaced or changed and are available in standard (off the shelf) or custom bearings. Common guide surfaces include granite and hard-coated aluminium, ceramics, glass, stainless or chromed steel. Because of the non-galling properties of our carbon bearing face, it can be run against plastics or replicated epoxy surfaces. The natural advantages of our porous bearing technology makes New Way Air Bearings easy to use. Typical Applications - Coordinate measuring machines - Specialty gauging - Vision machines - Scanning machines - Material testing machines - High speed applications - Diamond turning machines - Dry machining of metals
