How to select and install air-bearing stages
High-precision test, measurement, and manufacturing operations often require smooth, frictionless, low-maintenance motion control systems. An excellent choice for a complete motion subsytem is a linear or rotary stage that uses an air bearing for guidance, coupled to a direct-drive motor, a high-resolution position encoder, and a digital controller. Air bearings support a load with a…
