What Are Vacuum Preloaded Air Bearings? 

OAV Vacuum Preloaded Air Bearings combine pressurized air with vacuum preload to create stable, non-contact motion on a single flat surface. The balanced forces provide enhanced stiffness and damping while eliminating friction, wear, and lubrication for high-precision motion applications.
