FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - SUPPORTING QUOTATIONS
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 |
Drew Devitt – Founder, Chairman and Chief Technology Officer "Rolling-element bearings have many limitations, despite their ability to carry impressive loads," noted Drew Devitt, New Way Chief Technology Officer. "Our new radial air bearings are a non-contact solution, so they offer engineers all the advantages of frictionless motion: Much higher speed, greater precision, repeatability, and many other superior performance characteristics."
"A general rule thumb is that a radial air bearing will have 10% of the load capacity of a similar-sized rolling element bearing," Devitt continued, "But it will also have 10 times the speed capability and 100 times less friction." |
Michael Wright – Director of Marketing "Technically, these new radial air bearings are not a standard product," said Mike Wright, New Way Director of Marketing. "They can't be. We have to machine them to the precise radius and resolution required by each specific application. But we do stock the housings for all four configurations in ten different sizes, so we can turn them around much more quickly than we can a custom order." |
