(Physik Instrumente: Auburn, MA) -- Physik Instrumente (PI), a global leader in precision motion and positioning solutions, offers standard and custom air bearing linear slides. Based on PI’s USA engineering and manufacturing teams’ expertise, these air bearings are designed for applications requiring ultrasmooth, zero stick/slip linear motion, as well as submicron straightness and flatness.

Frictionless performance for demanding applications

Air bearing slides float on a thin film of pressurized air, eliminating mechanical contact between moving and stationary components. This design delivers virtually zero friction, zero wear, and exceptional motion uniformity, making them ideal for:
• Precision metrology and surface profiling
• Semiconductor wafer inspection and processing
• Optical and mechanical alignment, precision assembly
• Ultrahigh-resolution scanning systems
• Research and laboratory instrumentation
