Markets
The variety of markets taking advantage of the benefits provided by Porous Media™ is expansive and ever growing. Where once our non-contact products were limited to semiconductor manufacture and flat panel transportation, our customers have used their ingenuity, combined with New Way’s in house design team, to expand our products into fields like automotive testing, for true force dynamometry and computed tomography, for faster, quieter CT scans. Air Bearings are building the future with additive manufacturing, ensuring precision through nanometer accurate metrological sensors and providing the foundation for a new generation of medical implants. See what New Way has done for your industry, and if your business is new to Air Bearings, New Way is here to help!
Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing
Air Bearings offer nanometer scale precision for the next generation of 3D printing.
Automobile Testing
Frictionless motion enables rolling wind tunnels and true force dynamometry.
Computed Tomography
Radial Air Bearings allow for quieter, faster scans and greater patient comfort.
Flat Panel Display
With a combination of positive pressure and applied vacuum, air bearings allow for rapid, precise handling of FPD’s.
Flexible Web
Air Bearings allow for flexible web transportation with up to 180 degree bend angle and adjustable fly height.
Medical Markets
Zero friction means no overshoot, and the capability to produce implants perfectly fitted to each patient.
Metrology
Truly repeatable motion offers meteorological instruments motion with virtually no hysteresis error.
Precision Machine Tool
High stiffness and damping make air bearings an ideal choice for tooling assemblies.
Semiconductor
Cleanroom compatibility and no lubrication make air bearings the perfect fit for semiconductor manufacture and wafer inspection.
Shaft Seals
The New-Seal™ combines a bearing and a seal into one unit, perfect for rotating applications working off process gases.
