Useful Tools:
Oiles Self-Lubricating Bearings: Air Bearings
Oiless Air Bearings (OAB)
Oiles Air Bearings create an air film between the shaft and bearing to achieve non-contact movement. They are free from stick-slip caused by solid friction and are applicable to high-speed rotation and high temperature applications. They feature high-precision due to the averaging effect of air.

Advantages
- Originally developed porous material allows optimum compensation
- Almost zero coefficient of friction
- Excellent positioning control and very high accuracy
- Integration of sintered layers with back metals simplifies machining
- Demonstrates high load performance and high bearing rigidity
- The flow rate may be adjusted easily by material design which allows for a broad range of customization
- Excellent for high-safety applications since
OABs are hard to seize even under the solid body
contact condition - Easy to handle
- OABs are economical and can reduce the flow rate remarkably in comparison with inherent-orifice or orifice compensations resulting in air source saving and running cost reductions
- High-rigidity, high-speed and various other custom types and configurations in various shapes may be adopted according to applications
