The New Way® straight air fittings allow for an easy air supply tubing connection to a single air bearing. The fittings provide a quick air supply connection with a threaded end that allows the fitting to be tightened onto the bearing. The other end is barbed allowing you to slide the air supply tubing over the secure connection.
New Way’s straight air fittings come in a variety of sizes which means they’ll fit in any situation. The simple connection to the air hose and bearing provides easy and quick installation.
Available in 9 different configurations to accommodate a variety of air bearing sizes and air supply tube IDs, we provide a variety of common specifications for your application. Don’t see the size you need here? Contact us to discuss custom options.

Keck Observatory, often considered the world’s most scientifically productive observatory, turned to New Way when they needed help replacing their rolling-bearing-based rotary encoder. A system built on radial and flat round air bearings allowed for a new 1-meter diameter rotary table, cutting acquisition time by 75% and reducing maintenance to near zero.
Magtrol Inc., a leader in torque measurement for small motors, recognized the unique capability of air bearings to provide frictionless torque measurements. They upgraded their calibration suits through radial air bearings and air bushings, providing a frictionless solution backed by engineering support they could trust.
