Air Bearing Seals

New Way Introduces Patent Pending Air Bearing Seal Technology

New Way’s proprietary porous carbon air bearing seal technology combines the benefits of dry gas seals and mechanical seals in one simple, non-contact, leak-free solution. By supplying externally pressurized air through the optimized natural porosity of the same carbon, silicon carbide, or ceramics used in conventional face seals, a thin film of high pressure air is created directly between the faces of the seals. This eliminates friction, heat, and wear, with no leakage. This combination of effectiveness and simplicity means they will compete with bearing isolators, labyrinths, and packing seals.  Because the seal air emerges at high pressure but low flow (<0.5 SCFM), these seals are not dependent on any hydrodynamic flow of air, and effectively seal at zero RPM as well as operational speeds.
