Forecast Year
- Air bearings are used in precision machining tools, owing to their lower frictional drag, making high speed possible at lower vibrational rates.
- The growing initiatives by the government agencies in the optics and photonics sectors are aiding the market growth for air bearings.
- The accuracy required in many applications in the nanotechnology industry is made possible by the air bearings due to their stability and zero-friction motion.
Air Bearings Market Share
Based on type, aerodynamic bearings account for a significant share of the market
In disc data storage devices, the magnetic read/write devices are aerodynamic bearings that float near to the disc. These bearings have a small layer of quickly flowing pressurised liquid or gas between the bearing surfaces that supports the load. As the mechanical components do not make contact, there is no sliding friction, permitting bearings to reduce wear, and vibration as compared to other types of bearings. Hence aerodynamic bearings have a wide use in the mechanical sector.
Meanwhile, aerostatic bearings function at zero speed and no friction and these are widely used in grinding, machining, and micro positioning applications. These are required for nanoscale precision movements with high velocity stability over long trip distances.
Based on application, high speed machines significantly contribute to the global air bearings market revenue
High-speed milling machines make the use of air bearings as they yield faster, and lighter cuts compared with traditional milling machines. High-speed lathe machines can achieve speeds up to 160,000 rpm by integrating a non-contact air bearing into its air-powered spindle design.
Coordinate measuring machines make use of air bearings as they facilitate infinite resolution and do not contribute to friction. Another reason for the use of air bearings in coordinate measuring machines is that they are more repeatable and smoother than rolling element bearings and provide a more effective error correction.
