Re: Bearings

The only common place I have seen self sustaining air bearings is on the laser spinner on high end laser printers.

the mirror head may spin up to 30 or 50,000 RPM, and it rides on an air bearing

typically air bearings or mag-lev bearings are for 50,000+ rpm applications, where an object needs to be spun with no wobble or vibration, but there is no real side load or end load on the shaft being spun.
