Learn Five Ways Air Bearings Solve the Challenges of the Machining Industry

Birthed from the industrial revolution, the machining industry plays a prominent role behind the scenes of today's manufacturing world. However, the challenges faced during the industrial revolution are vastly different than those seen today. Not only have quantity and quality expectations changed, but the precision required has as well. In fact, stringent precision requirements have enabled the production of new products and technologies across a wide array of industries:

• Biomedical
• Semiconductor
• Energy
• Metrology
• Optics

Bearing solutions have evolved as well to support the advancement of the machining industry.

The friction induced by mechanical-based bearings is unable to meet the micro- and nano- levels of precision required for many of today's advanced technologies. Thankfully, air bearings provide a viable solution for these challenges faced by the machining industry.
