Air bearing pad EZ-0072 series

Our EZ-0072 bearing pads are standard rectangular air bearings with high load capacity and low air consumption. Due to their narrow contour, they have an advantage over standard bearings when it comes to making optimum use of small installation spaces. Like our standard bearings, this bearing type is optimized for high stiffness and good damping; the bearing pads move on an air film of 3 to 7 µm. Unlike porous air bearings, this type of bearing is supplied with compressed air via a nozzle. Optimum characteristic curves are achieved by specifically tuning the parameters of nozzle diameter, channel structure, channel depth and bearing contour. Our special emergency running layer makes the bearing elements robust and durable. Pressure screws with ball head allow uncomplicated mounting and precise adjustment. Standard sizes range from outer diameter 20×40 to 75×150 mm, other sizes are available upon request.
