Performance
The optimal combination of static and dynamic bearing properties provides maximum performance across the entire operating range.
Dynamics
Air bearings from AeroLas have been validated for use in high-frequency systems (>2,500m/ s2). The achievable accelerations are solely limited by the power of the motor.
Precision
Thanks to exceedingly small disturbances to movement, air bearings from AeroLas offer a noise behaviour of a few nanometres (static <2 nm).
Free-from-oscillations
Even at very high supply pressures, our air bearings are free from oscillations across the entire operating range – in coordination up to more than 30 bar.
No wear or maintenance
Contactless, noiseless, particle-free, oil and fat-free: with these properties, air bearings provide highest quality, and user and environmental friendliness.
Flexibility
AeroLas specialises in customised solutions: geometry, material and bearing characteristics (load capacity, stiffness, tilting stiffness, damping and air consumption) are adjusted to your specific application.
Air Bearing Overview
Flat, round air bearings
There are different variations for flat, round air bearings which is why they are particularly versatile.
Flat, rectangular air bearings
Optimal use of the available installation space is possible with flat, rectangular air bearings.
Air bearings with piston preload
Piston bearings are used to preload fixed and bearings with joint connection. The piston bearings are always installed opposite an air bearing without piston connection.
Air bearing with vacuum preload
Vacuum air bearings have an integrated vacuum pocket used for preloading. This avoids the requirement for external preloading, for example with piston bearings.
Radial / Axial air bushings
Air bearing bushings are used with the intention to load shafts radially and in some cases axially without friction. The micro nozzle technology from AeroLas provides the groundwork for the best possible concentricity.
Special material / Special shape
Various patented processes make it possible to integrate air bearings in nearly all geometries and materials.
