Air Bushings Applying Frictionless Motion with Air Bushings Most manufacturing operations use rotating equipment, with shafts and other components that are constrained by bushings. Other operations use linear motion for moving equipment that slide along shafts or rails. These applications offer opportunities to upgrade existing mechanical bushings with air bushings for essentially frictionless operation. Review…
