OAV Manufacturing Technology
Supplying top-quality products requires excellent engineering, clever design, and outstanding manufacturing technology. Thus, we have developed competitive advantages by having them all available, and we are committed to developing human and technological resources to do things differently to increase productivity. We support manufacturers with vital motion systems, developed winning models, advocated for next-generation motion systems, and built dynamic ecosystems to sustain new concepts and solutions that contribute to your products' overall growth.
OAV Air Bearing technology generates evenly distributed gas film between the surface and the substrate. Due to low gas viscosity and friction loss by viscous shearing, any mechanical contact is avoided, and no contact between the surface creates a no slip-stick phenomenon. Air bearings coefficient of friction is a function of air shear from motion, not from surface contact. Therefore, there would be zero friction at zero velocity, and OAV technology makes infinite motion resolution possible; the result is outstanding stiffness, maximized performance, ultimate precision, and highest speed.
