The New Way® T style air fitting allows for easy connection of multiple air bearings on a single air line. The threaded end of the air fitting screws into the bearing, connecting it to the air source. The left and right barbed ends connect to the air supply, and provide air to the next bearing in the series.
New Way’s T Style air fittings come in a variety of sizes, which means they’ll fit in any situation. Because of their low profile and two barbed ends, they are ideal for tight applications.
T style air fittings are available in a wide range of standard sizes to get you the right specifications for your application. Don’t see your size 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.
