Mechanical guiding systems, such as crossedroller bearings, work well for most motion control applications; however, when precision, angular repeatability, and geometric performance
(runout, straightness) are critical or
where submicron bearing rumble is problematic, air bearings are recommended. An air-bearing stage is a rotary or linear positioner that floats on a cushion of air, using one of several preload mechanisms, nearly
eliminating mechanical contact and thus wear, friction, and hysteresis effects. Here are eight reasons why an air-bearing stage might be the right choice for your application:
Three upcoming shows cater
to different areas of power
transmission components and
motion control technologies,
including Windpower 2016,
Powdermet 2016 and the Sensors Expo & Conference.
All three exhibitions will offer the latest products, solutions and latest real world applications dedicated to wind energy, powder metal technologies
and sensors. Here’s a quick rundown:
