Frequently Asked Questions

Air bearing motion systems use a thin film of pressurized air to support motion without mechanical contact, eliminating friction, wear, and vibration. This enables motion components, such as rotary tables, spindles, and linear stages, to achieve extremely smooth motion and submicron-level accuracy.

ABTech produces high-precision rotary tables, air-bearing spindles, and linear stages for demanding industries like aerospace, optics, semiconductor, and advanced manufacturing.

ABTech rotary tables combine air-bearing technology with robust structural design, allowing them to support large loads while maintaining extremely smooth and stable rotation. This design enables nanometer levels of precision, making them ideal for demanding applications such as aerospace engine inspection, optical testing, and high-precision manufacturing systems where accuracy and repeatability are critical.
