= Air bearing
{wiki=Air_bearing}
An air bearing is a device that uses a thin layer of air to create a low-friction interface between two surfaces. It operates on the principle of maintaining a continuous cushion of air, allowing one surface to float above another without physical contact. This reduces friction and wear, increases precision, and can enhance performance in various applications. \#\#\# Key Features of Air Bearings: 1. **Low Friction**: The air film provides near-frictionless motion, which is crucial for high-accuracy applications.
