Experience the Benefits of Frictionless Motion®️ with New Way’s Linear Slides
New Way Air Bearings’ ® Linear Slides Frictionless Motion®️ technology is backed by air bearing design know-how that provides innovative solutions to your manufacturing needs. Traditional mechanical bearing problems of wear and lubricant use can potentially lead to bearing failures between moving parts. Frictionless motion technology overcomes these traditional mechanical bearing issues. The key to New Way’s Frictionless Motion®️ is Porous Media Technology™ that utilizes a porous carbon material inherent with millions of sub-micron holes. Frictionless motion is created by a thin yet robust air film evenly distributed across the entire bearing surface.
How Are New Way’s Linear Slides Benefiting Industry Today?
New Way’s technology and products for linear motion provide the precision and stringent alignment requirements needed in today’s industrial processes. Read more about current uses of air bearings, including linear slide in Five Industries Using Air Bearings. These examples demonstrate how New Way’s linear slide technology is used to manufacture high-tech products such as Flat Panel Displays (FPD,) Photovoltaic (PV) panels, optics and semiconductor products, and testing equipment needed in the aerospace industry’s simulation of weightless conditions. Traditional mechanical bearings systems would not have the stringent requirements to meet the demands of these high-tech industries.
