A-60x PIglide RT Rotary Air Bearing Module
Frictionless, Nonmotorized
- Motion platform diameter from 50 mm to 300 mm
- Load capacity to 425 kg
- Eccentricity / flatness <200 nm
- Can be mounted vertically or horizontally
Product overview
The PIglide RT series of nonmotorized passive rotary air bearings are designed for accuracy, precision, high stiffness, and ease of use. They can be used in any orientation and are easy to integrate with motors and encoders for complete positioning solutions.
The bearings of the RT series offer superior eccentricity, flatness, and wobble performance. Because they are completely friction-free, they exhibit no breakaway torque and no frictional resistance during operation. They are ideal for use in cleanrooms, require no maintenance or lubrication, and have unlimited lifetime.
Accessories and options
- Encoder for precise acquisition of stage angle during manual operation
- Mounting base for horizontal mounting onto optical table and flat surfaces
- PIglide filter and air preparation kits
- Customized mounting flanges and square housings
Application fields
Optical alignment, metrology, parts inspection, calibration, scanning, torque measurement.
Thanks to the friction-free motion, no particles are formed, which makes PIglide stages ideal for cleanroom applications.
