How Air Bearings Work
the diaphragm is flexible, it can deflect as it encounters obstacles, or fill out as it passes over depressions in the surface. Unlike conventional ball bearings, air bearings do not generate heat due to friction. In an operating bearing, air flows into the space above the diaphragm and flows freely through...
