Air bearings are a non-contacting system that works based on pressurized fluid. It consists of a sleeve separated from a plain shaft by a small gap, typically 5–50 um. High-pressure fluid is fed through small orifices in the sleeve, where it flows along with the opening. Air bearings are mainly used in precision machine tools and high-speed machines such as spindle, small-scale turbomachinery, semiconductor wafer processing machines, precision gyroscopes, measuring and processing machines.
Market Dynamics
The global air bearings market is projected to grow at a lucrative rate during the forecast period. The escalating number of industries requiring high-performance précised results, maintenance-free, and high-efficiency technologies accelerates demand for air bearings. Air bearings are increasingly being implemented in the modern industry designs from automotive to oil & gas, from large-format printing to nanotechnology. This is mainly due to its technical advantages, such as near-zero friction and wear, high speed and high precision capabilities, and no oil lubrication requirements. Air bearings are ideal wherever there is a need for precision linear or rotary motion, non-contact handling, balancing, or sealing. However, air bearings are not preferred because of air bearing's complex manufacturing.
