Table Diameters from 50mm to 300mm
490kg Max Payload
Radial/Axial Error Motion < 200nm
Can be Mounted Vertically or Horizontally
Optional Encoder Available for Position Feedback
Optional Tip/Tilt Tabletops
Mounting Bases and Flanges Available
Overview
The PIglide RT series of non-motorized 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. Applications include optical alignment, metrology, inspection, calibration, and scanning. The RT series bearings offer superior runout, flatness, and wobble performance. Since they are completely frictionless, they exhibit no breakaway “stiction” o r drag friction during operation. They are ideal for use in cleanrooms, require no maintenance or lubrication, and have unlimited life.
An optional high resolution optical encoder can be added to allow precision table angle recording during manual operation. Applications include parts inspection, optical alignment and drag torque measurement.
