There are many different designs of Air Bearing spindles. AIR BEARING TECHNOLOGY utilizes a unique spherical spindle design. This design has been selected over other configurations due to inherent qualities, such as, performance reliability and rotational accuracy. As our industries change, requiring more durable spindles with non repeatable runout at angstrom levels, material selections and basic improvements of spindle designs will change to meet these requirements. AIR BEARING TECHNOLOGY is committed to providing our customers with the best products available. With increased resources, our customer service and product testing has yielded improved performance characteristics, allowing AIR BEARING TECHNOLOGY to lead the O.E.M. and End User market through trust and commitment by partnering with our customers.

We currently offer disk chucks for every major media test manufacturer in the world. This gives the end user an upgrade solution to inferior chuck designs on machines currently manufactured and testers already in use, regardless of tester, make or model.

With the changing demands on new disk products, AIR BEARING TECHNOLOGY offers its engineering expertise for prototype and production requirements to meet the demands of tomorrow's market.

AIR BEARING TECHNOLOGY'S unique wrap around dove tail design allows the air slide to be mounted in any position. The fixed clearance design yields maximum stage loading. Gas lubrication films are minimal, using an 8 micron film thickness for minimal air requirements with maximum stiffness and load capability.

This system is designed for trouble-free operation with a fail-safe interlock switch and air reservoir for adequate deceleration time for a spindle and or slide in the event of air loss.

Technology for the next century. The LA2000 series of linear amplifiers represents a dramatic breakthrough in industrial technology. All models come standard with frequency-lock loop speed control option, along with programmable torque and acceleration.

The units are controlled through an RS232 interface which produces diagnostics and configuration abilities. It can be configured via setup commands to operate with a variety of different motor and encoder combinations. Models 31 and 61 are designed for cabinet mounting.

Over 20 years of industry experience coupled with intense research and design has created one of the most technologically advanced linear amplifiers available today. Power. Speed. Precision. Flexibility. Performance.

AIR BEARING TECHNOLOGY is dedicated to continually improving its products. S pecifications are therefore subject to change without notice.
