Friction solutions
In high-precision applications, components need to perform with almost imperceptible margins of error.
Bearings play a critical role, guiding and supporting the movement of parts with ultra-high accuracy. While traditional ball bearings have served as the workhorse for many applications, they hit a wall when it comes to achieving the very highest levels of precision. This is where air bearings step in, offering a technological leap forward for tasks demanding unmatched accuracy.
Unlike ball bearings, which rely on rolling contact and generate friction, air bearings work on a cushion of air, resulting in minimal friction and virtually no wear. Air bearings can operate at very high speeds and in rapid acceleration/deceleration, delivering smoother and quieter operation.
This offers new bearing solutions for high-speed tire testing, rolling roads, frictionless drivetrain testing and silent motion solutions for acoustics testing. For rolling roads, IBS has recently achieved loads of 10kN and speeds of 100m/s.
