Global Air Bearing Stage Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031
Description
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Air Bearing Stage market size was valued at US$ 269 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 464 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 7.6% during review period.
Precision Motion Stage is a motion control system that can achieve precise positioning from micron to nanometer level. Its core consists of a linear motor drive unit, a precision grating scale measurement feedback unit and a precision linear guide mechanism, and achieves high-precision positioning in three-dimensional space through closed-loop control. The positioning accuracy of the platform directly determines the processing or measurement capabilities of the equipment, while the movement speed and acceleration directly affect the production efficiency.
In modern high-end manufacturing fields (such as semiconductors, optical devices and nanotechnology), Air Bearing Stage has become a key moving component due to its excellent performance. It uses air-floating guides to support the load and uses compressed air to form non-contact suspension, completely eliminating mechanical friction and vibration and achieving ultra-smooth motion. Compared with the shortcomings of traditional mechanical bearing platforms that are susceptible to friction, wear and hysteresis effects, Air Bearing Stage performs better in positioning accuracy, repeatability and motion stability. Especially in scenarios such as semiconductor wafer processing where precision and stability are extremely high, air bearing platforms can effectively overcome interference factors such as static electricity and magnetism, and ensure positioning accuracy and reliability through advanced repulsive force compensation technology.
Air Bearing Stage/Air Bearing Motion Stage is a precision motion device supported by air bearings (air floating guides). Based on the principle of air bearings, the load plate floats on the air bearings (air floating guides) to achieve smooth motion without friction and vibration. There are two main types of Air Bearing Stage: linear stages and rotary stages. From the perspective of semiconductor equipment and FPD devices, linear stages are mostly used.
Different application scenarios have very different technical requirements for Air Bearing Stage. For example, in semiconductor lithography machines, since the semiconductor manufacturing process has entered the atomic scale level for the accuracy of chip patterns, the Air Bearing Stage is required to achieve nanometer-level positioning accuracy. Position deviations exceeding 1nm will cause circuit short circuits. Different application scenarios have large differences in scale, and the current mainstream is electronics and semiconductors.
Air Bearing Stage companies in various regions around the world are mainly from Japan, Europe and the United States. There are still differences in technology and product performance between Chinese Air Bearing Stage companies and international leading companies (such as Sumitomo Heavy Industries, PI, and Aerotech). However, as the localization process of Chinese manufacturers accelerates, some Chinese companies have also gained a certain market share in the Air Bearing Stage market, such as Beijing U-PRECISION.
