Here are just a few of the many places you can find Nelson Air bearings
and systems.
Digital
Printing
Digital
printing requires fast, accurate motion with precise velocity control
and zero tilt. Nelson Air's long travel linear air bearings are the
key to a leading printer manufacturer's digital print to film high
resolution printers. These lightweight bearings deliver 50" of
travel with a straightness accuracy of 0.0001" and enable the
customer to achieve excellent velocity stability, resulting in exceptional
print quality.
Automotive
Testing
Nelson
Air's model 1200B linear air bearings were developed in response to
the needs of a major auto manufacturer. They needed high load capacity
air bearings for vehicle testing. These air bearings can support heavy
loads without the binding and high friction typical of traditional
bearings. Because of this they have found use in a variety of automotive
applications such as suspension testing.
Optics
Grinding
Optical
grinding requires extremely accurate motion in order to achieve demanding
tolerances for surface figure. When a leading optical manufacturer
needed a rotary bearing with runout and flatness of rotation better
than 5 millionths of an inch for integration into their custom grinding
machine, Nelson Air provided the solution. In addition to excellent
accuracy, the outstanding stiffness of air bearings allows the bearing
to withstand forces without a degradation in accuracy.
Spectrometry
When
a leading manufacturer of high resolution laboratory spectrometers
needed custom linear journal air bearings to provide extremely precise,
tilt-free, smooth motion for their scanning mirrors they came to Nelson
Air. The noncontact nature of these assemblies also delivers the reliability
and minimal maintenance today's laboratory users demand.
