Linear Air Bearing Slides & Stages
Precision linear air bearing slides and stages enable frictionless, ultra-precise linear motion for metrology, inspection, test, and frictionless nanopositioning automation applications.
Rotary Air Bearing Tables & Stages
Rotary air bearing tables provide frictionless, high-precision rotary motion with excellent axial, radial, and moment-load performance.
Air Bearing Spindles
Air bearing spindles enable smooth, ultra-precise rotary motion for applications requiring low error motion and clean, non-contact operation.
Spherical Air Bearings
Spherical air bearings provide three degrees of precise, frictionless rotation for satellite attitude-control research, test systems, and zero-g simulation.
Flat Pad Air Bearings
Flat pad air bearings support frictionless planar motion and can be used as building blocks for custom precision positioning and guidance systems.
XY and XYZ Stages
XY and XYZ stages are availabe for multi-axis automation, from photonics to laser processing applications.
Custom Design
PI Nelson Air can design and manufacture application-specific air bearing components and assemblies when standard products do not meet load, travel, accuracy, or integration requirements.
Integrated Motion Systems
Air bearings can be combined with linear motors, voice coils, encoders, controllers, granite bases, and air preparation systems for complete precision motion solutions.
