Thrust Air Bearing

They have an outer band that holds the bearing together and acts as a shield against dust and other contaminants.

Thrust air bearing.

Oav air bearings surface design equally distributes the air and pre load over the entire surface area. Sometimes it takes a great product. Thrust air bushings slide over the shaft just like air bushings. For the first time an air bearing is available that fully integrates and works on 3 way frictionless surface.

Thrust roller bearings thrust roller bearings for rolling mill applications are available in cylindrical spherical and tapered designs. The only differences is that thrust air bushings have face collars clamped to the shaft on both sides in order to keep the thrust air bushings from moving linearly. The result is outstanding stiffness and maximized performance. An air bearing is a non contacting system where a gas film usually air acts as the lubricant that separates the two surfaces in relative motion typically this being a rotating shaft and a stationary radial journal or axial thrust bearing.

In order to prevent linear motion we added a thrust face that is also made from porous carbon. Spherical roller bearings two rows of rollers give these bearings load capacities over five times higher than comparably sized tapered roller bearings. A built in thrust ball bearing reduces wear from adjacent shaft components while the needle roller bearing supports radial loads. What is an air bearing.

Oav thrust air bearings configurations runs on standard size shafting for fixed or linear motion while maximizing rotational motion with ultra precision and zero friction using aerospace quality aluminum. Thrust bearings thrust bearings are designed to accommodate axial load in one or both directions. And thanks to new way air bearings have never been easier to apply. Thrust ball bearings for shaft ends.

But it often takes more than a great technology to change an engineer s way of thinking. Oav thrust air bearings preload both horizontal and vertical surface with opposing thin film pressure this maintains the perfect gap ultimate tolerance. Thrust bearings are ideal for applications experiencing heavy axial loads such as mill stands screw down systems and piercing mills. The single acting carries the load in one direction while the double acting can carry the load in both directions.

The thrust bushings consist of a hollow cylinder of our porous media technology whose outer surface is encased in an aluminum housing. These bushings are found in many rotary applications such as turbochargers in high performance automobiles. Thrust air bearing design and installation guide typical configuration. Air bearings are a long proven technology.
