Frictionless Bearing Design, Lock-Down Mechanism for Ultra-High Stability With its frictionless air bearings and non-contact motors, the A-361 ensures smooth motion without wear, enabling virtually ...

Motion control systems, which normally control the position of actuator or stage, are at times given the task of providing both position and force control. These systems operate in a dual mode, in ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Most motion applications use mechanical bearing guidance. However, there are many cases in which precision, angular ...

Seeing a heavy load slide around on nearly frictionless air bearings is pretty cool; it’s a little like how the puck levitates on an air hockey table. Commercial air bearings are available, of course, ...

In addition to piezoelectric nano-positioning stages and micro-positioning systems, Physik Instrumente (PI) is introducing a new air-bearing stage. The latter comes with motorized linear and XY stages ...

Unique single-module 3-axis precision motion platform. (Nanowerk News) PI (Physik Instrumente), a leader in precision motion control, has introduced the A-361 air-bearing XY-rotation stage, a compact ...
