Air-Bearing Linear Stages

Custom Air-Bearing Linear Stages

LAB Air-Bearing Linear

ABTech’s ultra-precision air-bearing linear stages address the motion needs for a full range of part sizes and weights. Built for the most demanding applications, every air-bearing stage provides ultra-smooth motion, sub-micron accuracy, and absolute repeatability. Designed and manufactured in-house to extremely tight geometric tolerances, air-bearings have no mechanical contacting parts to wear or create drag. This affords forgiveness from minor accidental touchdowns.

Our linear stages come standard with dual element filters and regulators and are commonly used as the core axis in a wide range of applications where smooth and repeatable motion is desired. They are ideal as stand-alone units or as multi-axis assemblies, for position measurements, optical scanning, light machining and grinding, and more.

Accurate, Repeatable, Smooth Motion

Since there are no mechanical contacting parts to wear or create drag, air-bearings are close to frictionless, providing ultra-smooth, repeatable, and maintenance-free motion.

Motor Drives and Controls

Motor Drive Options

With proper selection and integration of high-performance brushless DC servo motors ABTech’s air bearing rotary tables provide ultra-smooth and precise rotary motion. With high torque, high performance motor drives, our motion experts will gather your specific requirements and work closely with our motor suppliers to create/select a motor drive that suits your specific application. Whether you need sub-micron position accuracy with minimal settle time and stringent following error specifications, high-speed constant motion, or a combination of both there is an ABTech rotary table that will meet your needs.

The motor drives are designed to accommodate a wide range of precision motion applications such as optical metrology; circular geometry gages; and micro machining with ultra-precision scanning, velocity control, speed regulation and precision indexing.

ABTech’s modular design approach facilitates multiple system configurations to optimize the price-for-performance required in your application. This approach allows the user to define the level of control desired for the most cost-effective solution. Our complete engineering services allow us to respond quickly to provide a solution to your O.E.M. requirements for ultra-precision rotary motion.

"We use 2 ABTech air-bearing spindles with tip/tilt and centering capability in our facility. These units are used for precision assembly and final metrology. We have never had an issue with either one, and the ABTech team is a great partner for us. We will be adding more systems as our young organization continues to grow".
