Linear Air Bearings Rotary Air Bearings Air Bearing Spindles Spherical Air Bearings Air Bearing Bushings Flat Pad Air Bearings Air Bearing Products
Basically, air bearings use a thin film of pressurized air to support a load, the same way the puck on an air hockey table "floats" on air. This type of bearing is called a "fluid film" bearing. Fluid film bearings have no solid-to-solid contact under typical running conditions; instead, a film of lubricating fluid (in our case pressurized air) forms a layer between the solid machine elements and serves to transfer forces from one to the other. To compare this with ball bearings, in ball bearings the balls are in constant contact with and form a solid bridge between the machine elements.
Approximate Pressure Profile in an Air Bearing The fluid is able to transfer forces because as the fluid is pushed through the bearing gap it generates a pressure profile across the bearing area. The force the bearing can support is then: Air Bearing Benefits:
No solid to solid contact - No wear, particles or lubricants Zero static friction Zero running friction High Stiffness Self Centering Error Averaging Force = Avg. Pressure x Area
The actual pressure distribution in the bearing varies based on the bearing design and other parameters but a good rule of thumb is to expect 30% efficiency. Force = 0.3 x Supply Pressure x Area For flat pads and rectangular bearings this calculation is quite straightforward, but for journal and spherical bearings we use a few other approximations to estimate load capacity. Fluid film bearings offer a number of advantages over mechanical bearings. First, because there is no contact, air bearings do not suffer from wear or heat generation due to friction. They also exhibit no starting or running friction, even under their highest design loading. In addition, the fluid film acts to center and average out small scale errors in the components resulting in motion which can be more accurate than the individual bearing components. Air bearings also offer much higher stiffness than rolling element bearings because the air film fully supports the components, as opposed to balls or rollers which have point or line contact and are therefore limited due to Hertzian contact stiffness.
Air is clean, contaminant free Zero friction - no heat generation at high speeds Small bearing gap means high accuracy components, high accuracy motion Air nitrogen of any other gas can be used
First, lower viscosity means that for the same working pressure gas bearings have lower load capacity (liquid fluid film bearings typically support five times the load of gas bearings for the same pad area). Second, because of the extremely low viscosity of gasses, gas film bearings operate with essentially zero static and running friction where liquid fluid film bearings have much higher friction and pumping losses within the bearings, which can cause heat generation. And third, gas bearings require very tight bearing gaps for proper operation (10 m for gas compared to up to 100 m for liquid bearing) which translates into extremely high accuracy requirements on the components. What this means for air bearings is that although they have a lower load capacity, gas bearings have essentially zero friction at all speeds and because the tight bearing clearances demand high accuracy components this results in extremely high accuracy motion. Another benefit is the cleanliness of using air as a lubricating fluid as opposed to oil, water, or another fluid. Since compressed air is very common in industrial environments it is probably the most often used gas, however other gasses such as nitrogen can be used where they are available (such as in clean room environments).
Our typical air bearings are hydrostatic (or in our case aerostatic) and use a compressed air supply to create the fluid film. This supply should be clean and regulated to a constant pressure - simple off the shelf air handling components are more than adequate for most applications to clean, dehumidify, and regulate the supply. Typical operating pressures run as low as 20 psi up to 120 psi depending on the stiffness, load capacity, and air consumption requirements.
Jewel Nozzle with Pocketed Compensation After entering the bearing and being routed though internal passages, the next step is to feed the pressurized air to where it is needed namely directly into the bearing gap. There are two basic ways to accomplish this, orifices and porous media. For orifices, the air flows through a small hole (typically .004" to .015" dia.) into the bearing area. Porous media bearings use a porous material (typically carbon, bronze, or steel) which the air penetrates through into the bearing area.
The relative benefits of each approach are debatable. While orifices typically do not generate as uniform a pressure profile as can be achieved with porous media, there are ways to improve the pressure profile using a technique called "pocketed compensation". Porous media feeding provides more inherent damping than orifices, however proper sizing of the orifices can adjust damping. Orifices can become plugged if a very large particle gets into the air supply (this is extremely rare), where the porous media acts as a filter for the air. However, because of this filtering effect, over time the porous media itself can become clogged (oil vapor in the air is particularly bad) and a clogged porous bearing is much more difficult to clear than a clogged orifice.
Orifice fed bearings can be made from one piece of material (particularly when using drilled nozzles) where porous bearings are necessarily made using varying materials and adhesives. At Nelson Air we have used both orifice and porous media feeding. Most of our standard products use pocket compensated orifices, however our LB series of linear bushings use porous bronze. Our typical orifice bearings are made using a special technique we have developed to drill the small orifices directly into the bearing, instead of using pressed in or glued in jewel nozzles. We believe that this technique reduces cost and complexity while increasing long term stability and reliability. However, jeweled nozzles are used when the design precludes drilled nozzles either because of geometry or because especially small orifice sizes (.004" for example) are required.
Air Film Averages out Local Variations Because of the very small gaps that are required for air bearings, the single most important factor in their manufacture is absolutely flawless geometry. Any variation in part size, straightness, squareness or out of roundness will result in a closing of the gap and will cause the bearing to lose its frictionless nature as well as degrade accuracy and load capacity. Typical tolerances on our rectangular bearings which run air gaps of ~0.0005" are part deviations less than 0.0001" overall. This same tolerance applies over the entire length of the bearing, which for some models can be over 60". In addition, the part geometry is what determines the accuracy of the final bearing motion - even though local deviations are averaged out by the air film, the overall accuracy is dictated by how well the parts are made. Because of this, Nelson Air has developed a variety of techniques and equipment which allow us to meet these stringent tolerances with repeatability and relatively low cost.
Accuracy
Precision
Repeatability
Linear Accuracy: 10 in/in, 100 in/36 in Rotary Accuracy: 1 in TIR Roll/Pitch/Yaw: 0.25 arcsec/in Linear Repeatability: 10 in Rotary Repeatability: 1 in Positioning Resolution: to 1 encoder count
To start this discussion it is best to briefly define what accuracy, precision and repeatability mean. Accuracy is the measure of how closely the motion follows an ideal profile. Precision is the measure of how small the motion increments can be. Repeatability is the measure of how well the motion moves along the same path. Air bearings offer the best of all worlds because they have excellent accuracy, precision and repeatability. They offer high accuracy because the components are manufactured with extremely tight tolerances and because of the air film's averaging effects. Typical linear accuracies are 10 in/in with maximum deviation of 100 in/36 in. Rotary runout can be as low 1 in. Air bearings also offer extremely good tilt characteristics - 0.25 arcsec/in. Because air bearings exhibit no stiction or running friction, the precision achievable is only limited by the abilities of the motor/controller/encoder. Positioning precision of 1 encoder count can easily be achieved using linear motors. The repeatability of air bearings far exceeds that of mechanical bearings for the simple reason that they have no contact or wear. Heat generation in mechanical bearings sometimes require "warm up" periods during which there is thermal movement. Also, the mechanical preload on roller bearings can vary with temperature and cause the bearings to operate differently (varying friction for example) and lack repeatability. When working at the highest accuracy levels, these effects can cause mechanical bearings to lose their accuracy from hour to hour, day to day, or month to month. Because the accuracy of our air bearings is built into its solid metal components (made from one type of material for uniform thermal expansion), they can operate for years without any degradation in accuracy. This way, a calibration done one day will "stick". They also can be run at top speed without any need for warm-up time (excluding motor heating effects) and maintain their best accuracy.
Method 4: Opposing Air Bearing Preload While some configurations of air bearings are self-preloading (e.g. journal bearings) others such as flat pads and linear rectangular bearings can benefit from preload. Air bearings can be used without any preload (such as a simple flat pad riding on a granite surface), however, in order to maximize the stiffness of the air bearing and help maintain constant air gap it is typical to preload it using one of four basic methods:
Weight Preload Vacuum Preload Magnetic Preload Opposing Air Bearing Preload
The simplest method is weight. Using a weight much heavier than the expected variation in the loading of the bearing preloads the air bearing so it rides at a smaller (and stiffer) air gap and makes it less prone to height variations. This method has the drawback of adding moving mass but can work very will with systems which already have a large amount of mass and low forces (such as parts inspection). Needless to say, this only works for bearings which operate horizontally. The second method is using a vacuum preload. A vacuum is used to apply a preloading force to the air bearing (instead of using a weight). This is accomplished by providing an area of the bearing surface over which a vacuum is applied. Because vacuum is limited to around negative 14 psi (atmospheric pressure) and typical air bearing pressures are 40-80 psi the net effect is still a lifting of the bearing, even when the bearing and vacuum areas are equal. Vacuum preload enhances the stiffness and helps to maintain constant air gap, without adding unnecessary moving mass. The main drawbacks to this method are the need for a larger bearing area to accommodate both pressure and vacuum and the requirement of a vacuum source. This method has been used successfully in many applications, especially for flat pads and planar systems which do not lend themselves to other forms of preload. The third method of preloading is magnetic preload. Magnetic attraction between a magnet on the moving part and a magnetic material on the stationary part of the bearing loads the bearing and adds stiffness. This configuration works well for linear bearings and can be very cost effective because it reduces the tolerances required for the air bearing components (as compared to air bearing preloaded systems). However, because many air bearings are made from nonmagnetic materials, it requires adding other materials to the bearing (such as iron). Another drawback is that at high speeds, the magnet generates eddy currents in the iron which oppose the motion and add a drag force (eliminating the "zero friction" of air bearings). However, in many applications magnetic preload provides an effective method of preloading air bearings. The final method is opposing air bearing preload. This method uses opposing air bearings to preload each other. This method provides twice the stiffness of a single air bearing, although the load capacity is reduced by almost half (the other preload methods also reduce load capacity, based on the amount of force they apply) and is very effective in producing the most accurate and reliable air bearings. Because there are two air bearings working in parallel it also has the effect of averaging any errors on either bearing (centering) and can therefore deliver higher accuracy than any other method. In addition, air bearing preloaded bearings can be operated in any orientation. The majority of Nelson Air's standard bearings use this method because we believe it provides the highest quality, accuracy and versatility. However, this method does require higher accuracy components with more precision surfaces.

AND
Advances in engineering and technology frequently place severe new demands upon the support systems for machine components required to be in relative motion both in regard to improved performance and increasingly exacting operating conditions. The great majority of these demands are met by some combination of clever design of 'conventional' bearing systems, the development of improved liquid lubricants for a great diversity of specialized applications, and the devising of effective sealing techniques for circumstances in which it is essential to minimize the leakage of lubricant liquids or their vapors.
However, in a growing number of applications it is becoming necessary to achieve a result which is either technically or economically impracticable with conventional lubricants. Numerous alternative classes of bearing systems have been devised to meet new requirements by means which are tailored to like circumstances. For example, in a vacuum, a magnetic support may be employed (for low temperatures); for handling almost any liquid, the liquid itself may be used as a lubricant although it may lack numerous convenient qualities available with lubricating oils; and for numerous special purposes, including some very high temperature applications, solid lubricants such as graphite, or molybdenum or tungsten disulfide, may be employed. Another alternative class of bearings is that which makes use of a gas (air) as the lubricant. Air lubrication offers certain unique advantages, as in their own manner and place do the other alternatives, but likewise air bearings themselves have their own inherent limitations which must be clearly recognized in advance if the aspiring user is to avoid unwarranted failure. In particular it must be recognized that air bearings of practically every type are somewhat more prone to instability difficulties than are liquid bearings, although most of these instabilities are to a huge extent the same general type that occur in liquid-lubricated systems; for example, the important case of half-speed whirl in self-acting 360 degree journal. Pressurized bearings also have their instability problems although these are sometimes of a very different type.
Despite some limitations of load carrying capacity compared to other mechanical or rolling element bearings there are numerous advantages, and some of them exclusive, that permit machine operation in conditions which would otherwise be quite impracticable.

Of the more important exclusive advantages which are offered by air lubrication are those cases where the low viscosity of gases as compared with liquids can be exploited to special benefit. Particularly straightforward examples of this class of application are those which occur in near-static apparatus such as gimbal support, dynamometers, wind-tunnel balances and other specialized mechanical instruments which benefit from the extremely low static frictional torque which externally pressurized bearings can offer. The use of a gas permits a torque orders of magnitude smaller than could be achieved by liquids, but perhaps in practice often of more importance is the fact that a low-torque bearing with an appropriately large operating clearance can be made in a very simple and clean fashion using gas lubrication. Air is usually employed, since the exhaust from the bearing can be released to the surroundings and quite large flow rates can be employed. In semiconductor machine tools, high-speed, acceleration and damping are key to product throughput. The use of air bearings in such an application has found widespread use. Experimental high speed linear slides of a composite lightweight structure have operated at 14g acceleration for thousands of hours or repeated because of the low friction aspects of air bearings. A mechanical rolling element-type bearing would never be able to satisfy such a requirement. This low friction also finds uses in torque measuring equipment, dynamic balancing machinery, semiconductor positioning systems, micro or zero gravity trajectory simulators and other instruments requiring near-static conditions.
High Accuracy
The high accuracy of motion that can be obtained with air bearings is equally important in some applications. Considerable differences in motion accuracy exist between rolling element bearing supports and air bearing supports. In linear slides, for example, rolling element bearings witness noise error (or rumbling) due to the ways' surface roughness and/or eccentric rotation of the rollers or balls. On the contrary, air bearings do not suffer from this difficulty. The reason for this lies in the absence of surface contact between the bearing parts and the averaging action of the air film over the various local surface irregularities present in the machined surfaces. Even the finest of rolling element bearings are orders of the magnitude less accurate than air bearings. In rotating air bearings, this effect produces high orders of rotational accuracy and smoothness of travel. Typical T.I.R. for air bearing spindles are less than 1.0 inch. For linear slides, pitch, roll and
yaw errors of much less than a fraction of an arc second are attainable and straightness of travel errors on the order of nanometers have been achieved.
High Stiffness
At zero speed, air bearings provide considerably high stiffness characteristics. This same effect is seen at zero or low loads. For properly designed and manufactured aerostatic bearings, it is not uncommon to measure stiffness on the order of several million pounds per inch.
Zero Wear
The advantage of zero wear can be seen greatly in externally pressurized or aerostatic bearings and to some large degree in self-acting or aerodynamic bearings. Although some properly designed rolling element bearings can achieve practical wear rates, none can match the zero wear characteristic of aerostatic bearings. With aerodynamic bearings, starting and stopping causes some rubbing within the bearing clearance, but this can be alleviated by introducing a pulse of air just as the bearing begins translation. Furthermore, as compared with rolling element bearings, air bearings do not suffer from increased wear rates as the speed or load is increased. With proper care and maintenance, infinite life can be expected from air bearings. Note on crash resistance: allowing a bearing to crash or be overloaded to the grounded state should never be a design feature. Crashed bearings are a sign of a much wider system problem and should be corrected regardless of the type of bearing used.
Contamination
Gas lubrication has found a place of particular importance in circumstances where it is necessary to keep the environment free from contamination by conventional lubricants. Such situations arise in semiconductor wafer handling systems. In these situations, it may be costly or impractical to manufacture a system which can effectively seal off contaminants from oil lubricants used in roller slides. The externally pressurized air bearing lends itself well to harsh environments where liquids, dust and contaminants are present. The air bearing's great resilience stems from the fact that with positive pressure existing inside the bearing, all foreign matter is repelled away from the critical bearing surfaces. Externally pressurized bearings could operate while completely submerged in a liquid. Unlike some rolling element bearing supports that require periodic maintenance, cleaning, the addition of oil lubricants and sometimes the replacement or re-surfacing of guide ways, the air bearing's self-cleaning nature allows it to be virtually maintenance-free.
of temperature due to fall in viscosity, in the case of gases, the load-carrying performance will in general improve due to a rise in viscosity. Externally pressurized ceramic bearings were operated at temperatures of up to 1,500F (800C) at speeds of up to 65,000 rev/min. Low temperature applications of air bearings have been largely confined to various types of expansion turbine gas liquefiers and to refrigeration plant. A small high-speed expansion turbine for liquefying helium can operate at 350,000 rev/min. This unit employs bearings which are lubricated by helium gas at a temperature between 50 and 13K, and the output of liquid helium is maintained at a pre-selected temperature of between 3 and 4K to an accuracy of 0.05.
