Does anyone out there know of a source of proper (not too expensive) F8-16M (8 – 16 x 5mm) ball thrust bearings? Does anyone out there know of a source of proper (not too expensive) F8-16M (8 – 16 x ...

Bearings in precision equipment such as computer disk-drive spindles, laser scanners/printers, and gyroscopes, need excellent stiffness and damping qualities to run true at high speeds. Until recently ...

• Air bearings are candidates for tasks where high speed, low friction, and low noise are paramount. • Radial air bearings are now standard items. Over 100 years ago Westinghouse applied for a patent ...

Seeing a heavy load slide around on nearly frictionless air bearings is pretty cool; it’s a little like how the puck levitates on an air hockey table. Commercial air bearings are available, of course, ...

The accuracy of motion systems used in precision automation applications is significantly dependent on top-tier positioning stages and motion controllers. When designing a next-generation machine or ...
