Radial Air Bearings

New Way introduces both Concave and Convex Radial Bearings to its range of Air Bearing products. The housings are stocked, and awaiting your radius specifications and resolution requirements.

• Made-to-order components are available in either concave or convex configurations
• Radius is engineered across the width or the length of the bearings, depending on your needs
• Ideal for rotary applications, giving you all the differential advantages of air bearings that you require
• High speed, high precision, no friction, no wear, no need for lubrication, excellent velocity control, and no noise

When starting any new automation project, In-Position Technologies engineers start by reviewing the key requirements to determine all necessary components needed in an application. This includes providing recommendations for any appropriate controllers, power supplies, sensors, encoders, bearings, couplings, and any other components needed to fit the application. Our engineers perform all necessary engineering assessments to make sure all components perform properly together, are within customer specifications, and do not come with unnecessary costs.

This includes:

• Payload, reach, speed, cycle time, and repeatability requirement
• Specifying the appropriate feedback device (sensors, vision system, torque sensor)
• Verifying mounting compatibility, form factor checks, etc.
• Ensuring compatibility with the current system
• Ensuring all necessary auxiliary equipment are also specified

When ordering Radial Air Bearings as a part of a full system, IP Tech engineers review the solution to ensure:

• All parts and fittings necessary for a complete working solution are included
• All components have been checked and verified to work together as a system
• The selected components will perform as required by the project specifications
