Overview The ATLAS‐101 motorized linear air bearing stage is a fully‐supported, fully preloaded air bearing design. High performance air bearings with integrated linear servomotors and opBcal encoders deliver totally non‐ contact, fricBonless moBon with submicron resoluBon and repeatability. Designed to meet the demanding needs of precision producBon faciliBes, these systems are equally suited to laboratory environments where flexibility and ease of use are criBcal. Dynamic and Sta1c Performance Air bearings are the proven standard for superior smoothness of moBon and posiBoning control in high precision applicaBons. Low fricBon enables smooth acceleraBon and Bght velocity stability. The eliminaBon of sBcBon and backlash allows posiBoning resoluBon of ±1 encoder count, even at the highest resoluBon. Without mechanical contact, posiBoning repeatability is also greatly improved. Nelson Air Corp. precision air bearing positioning 559 Rt. 13 South, P.O.
