Radial Air Bearing Line Launch - Paragraph Release April 16, 2009
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - PARAGRAPH PRESS RELEASE
New Way Air Bearings® launches line of porous media Radial Air Bearings to deliver frictionless rotary motion for precision applications.
Aston, Pennsylvania, USA, April 16, 2009 -- New Way Air Bearings announced the launch of a new line of porous media radial air bearings for use in precision rotary motion applications. These new modular components support a rotor from just a small percentage of its circumference, from which it will float on a five micron film of air, enabling frictionless rotary motion. Available in Concave or Convex configurations - for use on the Outside Diameter (OD) or Inside Diameter (ID) of a rotating body - the radius may then be cut by the length or width of the bearing. Technically not a standard product, because each radius must be precisely machined to the requirements of the application at hand, the components are stocked and available for shafts as small as 25 mm and for rings as large as 3 meters. Larger diameters can also be accommodated, as custom orders. Whatever the size, the resulting assembly is simple, has only one moving part, and provides smoother, faster, more consistent and precise frictionless motion, without noise, vibration, or need for lubrication. New Way radial air bearings are ideal for a wide range of high-performance applications, including: Inspection, imaging, wind power, fans, turbo machinery, metal cutting, pumps, compressors, powder processing, energy storage flywheels, centrifuges and many others. |
