Ultra-High Precision Air Bearing, Stages, Components, Motion Systems
Trusted by the world's most recognized institutions and labs
Technological advancements have allowed air bearings to offer inherent advantages over traditional bearings as well as the opportunity to be used for a much broader range of applications. OAV Air Bearings offers integrated air bearings, aerospace materials, product standardization, and high proven performance in the most demanding applications.
The Outer Spin Rotary Air Bearing is another significant advancement made by OAV Air Bearing. Here to replace your conventional bearings, this innovative product is hard-installable and ultra precise with a fixed location.
Our patent pending OAV Thrust Air Bearing is a breakthrough innovation in air bearing industries. For the first time, an air bearing is available that fully integrates and works on three-way frictionless surface. OAV Thrust Air Bearings run on a standard size shafting fix, and maximizes stiff motion with precision. Made with aerospace quality titanium.
The OAV Roller Air Bearing pre-loads both horizontal and vertical surfaces with an opposing thin film of pressure. This maintains the perfect gap for ultimate tolerance. The surface design equally distributes the air and pre-loads it over an entire surface area. The result? Outstanding stiffness and maximized performance levels.
We offer a line of flat rectangular air bearings designed to meet the non-contact requirements at low cost while yielding high performance. OAV Flat Rectangular Air Bearings are often used as a standard, off-the-shelf solution for providing axial constraint in rotary motion applications. Our standard product line is available in metric sizing as well as the custom sizing made to order upon request.
