Air bearing stages replace mechanical contact by a thin air film, avoiding wear, friction, vibration, and hysteresis effects. PI offers linear air bearing slides, XY air bearing tables, rotary tables / spindles, tip-tilt stages and 3-degree-of-freedom spherical air bearings.

The DynamYX ® Datum ® achieves performance never before possible in a commercially available air bearing stage. Datum is the bi-product of Newport’s continuous investment in advanced materials, proprietary fabrication techniques, and …

Since 1984, we have been designing and manufacturing precision air bearing components, air bearing stages, linear slides and air bearing positioning systems for industry and science. Our products include flat Z/tip/tilt, linear, rotary, spherical and planar air bearings and systems.

Dover Motion offers several standard air bearing stage product lines, and can also design custom air bearing solutions for your specific application. Our air bearing stages can be modified and configured to meet your specific needs. Check our Airglide™ air bearing stage for large payloads.

Our ABRT series rotary air-bearing stages provide superior angular positioning, velocity stability and error motion performance along with impressive payload capacity and outstanding radial and axial stiffness.

The Dover Airglide™ air bearing stage combines the ultimate in performance, reliability, and value. The stage design uses ultra-precision air bearings providing extremely smooth motion, clean operation, and reliability.

Our ABRS series rotary air-bearing stages provide superior angular positioning, velocity stability and error motion performance in an exceptionally low-profile package.

ABTech’s ultra-precision air-bearing linear stages address the motion needs for a full range of part sizes and weights. Built for the most demanding applications, every air-bearing stage provides ultra-smooth motion, sub-micron accuracy, and absolute repeatability.

Driven by a noncontact linear brushless servomotor, this stage proves the ultimate solution whether the application requires small, accurate steps or constant smooth velocity. Superior magnetic field and motor coil design result in the highest force output of …

The RT150AS air bearing rotary stage is the ideal solution when precision, high speed and compactness are required in one unit, with loads of up to 43 kg.
