Since 1994, New Way Air Bearings has been the market leader in porous media air bearings. Founded by Drew Devitt, who currently holds the titles of CTO and Chairman, New Way Air Bearings has pioneered the implementation of frictionless motion in numerous industrial and scientific applications. For many customers, New Way air bearings are an enabling technology; one which has allowed them to vault to the top of their market…or to implement an evolutionary design that completely redefines their business. New Way Air Bearing’s R&D department and production engineers are constantly improving the products to the benefit of New Way customers.

New Way Air Bearings are superior to alternative technologies in many ways. New Way Air Bearings are cost effective, simple to integrate, tolerant to misalignment and surface roughness, and impact resistant. Also important, New Way Air bearings are dust resistant, since an air knife is formed at the edge of the bearing. They can also be submerged in many fluids, and can pass water in dirty air lines. New Way Air Bearings consume very small amounts of air, so they are energy efficient. Finally, because there is no contact with the surface, the life of a New Way air bearing is theoretically infinite.

Many customers are unaware that they have New Way Air Bearings in their shop, as New Way Air Bearings dominate the Coordinate Measuring Machine Industry.
