Achieving zero friction resistance. A cylinder with no wear or dust generation, utilizing air bearings. Customizable in small size, thin type, and ceramic sintered materials.
The air bearing cylinder is a high-performance product that adopts innovative air cylinder technology. Its core lies in the air bearings mounted on the rod guide section. This advanced design allows for non-contact between the rod and the guide, minimizing sliding resistance to zero. Leveraging this characteristic, the air bearing cylinder achieves precise drive at micro-loads and low speeds. With soft-touch operation and high-precision load control, it is ideal for applications requiring strict control, such as precision grinding equipment. Furthermore, it can be compatible with clean room environments, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial fields. A key feature is the adoption of porous metal sintered air bearings, which achieve high lateral rigidity that surpasses conventional products. Additionally, special adaptations through free design according to customer needs are possible, accommodating various customizations such as miniaturization, thinness, and the use of ceramic sintered materials. In fields such as precision equipment manufacturing, semiconductor industry, and medical device development, where advanced control and cleanliness are required, the air bearing cylinder opens up new possibilities.

basic information
- By adopting air bearings for the piston rod and guide section, there is no friction resistance due to non-contact stroking. - The use of porous metal sintered air bearings provides higher lateral rigidity compared to conventional products. - Lower consumption flow rate compared to other air bearing types such as orifice types (orifice types can also be manufactured). - Standard lineup ranges from Φ10 to Φ100, with special adaptations possible up to Φ190. - There are two operating modes: single-acting extrusion type and double-acting type. - Custom products tailored to customer specifications can be manufactured. - Cleanroom compatibility is also possible. 【Custom Examples】 - Small air bearing cylinder - Thin air bearing cylinder - Air bearing cylinder "rotational restraint specification (double-acting type)" → Improved quality, reduced defects, high durability - Air bearing cylinder "copper ion-free type" → Can be used in environments free of copper ions as it does not contain copper materials. Suitable for use in environments that dislike conductivity (battery manufacturing). Heat-resistant and can be used in high-temperature environments (ceramic sintered body).

About Cylinder Thrust Hysteresis This is a diagram showing the cylinder thrust hysteresis of the Fujikura Rubber BF Cylinder (φ20) and the Air Bearing Cylinder (φ20). It illustrates the cylinder thrust when an air pressure of 200 [kPa] is applied to the thrust ports of each cylinder while the rod is stroked (reciprocated). The rod stroke indicates the amount of contraction from the maximum extension. The difference in thrust during the reciprocation of the stroke indicates the sliding resistance.
