New Way Bearings specializes in air bearings, which use a thin film of pressurized air to create a virtually frictionless surface. Their products are widely used in industries requiring high precision, low wear, and smooth motion. Here are the main types of New Way: Bearings:
- Flat Round Air Bearings – Frictionless motion, used in precision machinery and metrology.
- Flat Rectangular Air Bearings – High stability, ideal for large linear motion applications.
- Vacuum Preloaded Air Bearings (VPL) – Increased stiffness and positioning accuracy, used in CMMs and optics.
- Air Bushings – Replace traditional bushings, near-zero friction for shaft-based applications.
- Radial Air Bearings – Precision rotary motion, used in spindles and turbines.
- Thrust Air Bearings – Axial support with zero wear, used in rotating platforms.
- Spherical Air Bearings – Multi-directional motion, ideal for aerospace and precision positioning.
- Air Bearing Stages – Integrated motion systems for high-precision scanning and semiconductor applications
