OAV’s Motorized Integrated Motion Solutions combine frictionless linear air bearing guides with precision motorized drive systems to deliver turnkey motion platforms for the most demanding ultra-precision applications. This product family is engineered for customers who require exceptional straightness, smoothness, stiffness, and repeatability—without the complexity of designing and integrating individual motion components.

OAV’s Ultra-Precision Multi-Axis Air Bearing Platforms are engineered for applications requiring coordinated motion across multiple degrees of freedom. By combining linear and rotational air bearing axes into fully integrated systems, OAV delivers turnkey XY, XYZ, XYθ, XYZθ, and custom multi-axis platforms with uncompromising accuracy, stiffness, and smoothness.

OAV Air Bushings are designed to make air bearings available for use with pre-existing designs based on shafts.

apered Roller Air Bearing. Consisting of two main components - the inner assembly, and the outer-cage, the two components are typically mounted in opposing pairs on a shaft. Air supply is sent through the shaft with a cross-hole or inlet from the outer-cage.

AV Roller Air Bearings preload both the horizontal and vertical surface with opposing thin film pressure, maintaining the perfect gap for ultimate precision.

The OAV External Spin Rotary Air Bearing preloads both the horizontal and vertical surface with an opposing thin film of pressure, maintaining the perfect gap and optimal levels of tolerance.

For the first time, an air bearing is available that fully integrates and works on a three-way frictionless surface. OAV's Air Bearing configurations run on standard-sized shafting for fixed, linear motion while maximizing rotational motion with ultra precision and zero friction using aerospace-quality aluminum.
