Linear bearing

Hydrostatic bearings are characterized by practically frictionless movement. The corresponding linear guides are free from stick-slip effects and there is practically no wear on the guides. Gases (mostly air) or liquids (mostly oil) can be used as the carrying medium. Air-bearing guides are ideal, for example, for clean room applications or at high sliding speeds. If oil is used as the carrying medium, higher carrying forces can be achieved with the same size and better damping properties. Various designs are available, which can be customized at any time to meet special requirements in terms of installation space, load capacity, guide length / table diameter, drive type, position measuring system, etc.
