For more than 30 years, ESS Mikromechanik has been manufacturing high-precision and delicate products for applications in air bearing technology, measurement and testing systems, micro-machining, as well as microelectronics, printing technology, and optical systems.
The product portfolio includes rotary, linear, and planar air bearings for vacuum applications. It also comprises machining spindles, linear guides, aerostatic bearing systems, roundness measuring instruments, as well as ultra-precision turning (UP turning) and ultra-precision milling (UP milling) solutions.
Our broad range of expertise in micro-machining and air bearing technology enables a wide variety of applications. We provide precision air-bearing devices and systems tailored to customer requirements, as well as an extensive portfolio of our own products.
Whether for material processing, measurement and testing technology, or microelectronic, printing, and optical applications – we offer a comprehensive standard product range based on modular components that can be combined into flexible system solutions.
Through continuous innovation in the field of air bearing technology, our components consistently meet the latest technical and quality standards.
We offer virtually every type of air bearing solution – from linear and rotary air bearings for precision machining applications to highly accurate systems used in metrology. Our air bearings can even be operated under vacuum conditions, making them suitable for the most demanding environments. Contact us to learn more about our solutions.
Further information is available on request for a wide range of additional products, including machining spindles, linear guides, linear measuring systems, aerostatic bearings, roundness measuring instruments, as well as ultra-precision diamond milling and diamond turning systems based on precision bearing technology.
The new MTF-225-5-2 micro nozzle bearing with integrated torque motor and measuring system has been specifically developed for applications where installation space is limited. With an overall height of just 62 mm and a rotary table diameter of 225 mm, it is one of the most compact air bearings available on the market. Despite its…
This air-bearing precision tilting table is ideally suited for all types of grinding applications. The inclined base plate prevents the accumulation of coolant or emulsion, minimizing the risk of process interruptions. Thanks to the air-bearing rotary table, radial and axial runout accuracies of less than 0.02 µm can be achieved. The fine adjustment screw enables…
Our LFG series of linear guides has been expanded with two new variants, which will be available under the SIGMA product line. The SIGMA guides offer a travel accuracy of 1 µm and a positioning accuracy of 0.1 µm, making them ideal for demanding precision applications. Both versions feature a conventional design with highly precise…
The GMG 1010 has been completely redesigned and now features a modern appearance combined with enhanced functionality. Thanks to its outstanding positioning and repeatability accuracy of 0.1 µm, it provides the ideal platform for virtually any type of high-precision measurement under both workshop and laboratory conditions. The GMG 1010 is available in 50 mm stroke…
