New Way® Air Bearings End-Supported Air Slides provide a precise, integrated linear motion solution that’s ready-fit for installation. These linear slides are designed specifically for situations where continuous support is impossible or impractical.
Constructed from strong, lightweight aluminum, the simple linear slide assemblies are engineered to minimize guide bar sag and provide both straightness of motion and dynamic response. The result is incredible reliability combined with linear resolution often an order-of-magnitude better than conventional rolling-element bearings.
New Way’s End-Supported Air Slides have many uses in applications that require precision motion in highly constrained environments. Take a look at these examples to see how our End-Supported Air Slides can enhance your process.
End-Supported Air Slides are available in a wide range of standard sizes and lengths to get you the right specifications for your specific application. Don’t see your size here? Contact us to discuss custom options.

Airpot® Corporation, an industry leader in force pneumatics, motion, and displacement, turned to New Way® when they wanted to test their latest product. While Airpot has a long history of providing linear actuation and motion damping across their product line, they too, like New Way, recognize the value of Frictionless Motion®️, which guided the development of their Airpel-AB Air Cylinders.
New Way partnered with Axis New England, a firm specializing in robotic and machine automation for the lithography, semiconductor, and precision optics industry. We provided them with a solution built on flat round air bearings to meet the needs of a customer who produces ultra-high format printers, allowing for high speeds and precise positioning.
