Abstract
This invention provides an air bearing system for guiding along one of two opposed walls by a piston-mounted air bearing. A second piston-mounted air bearing is adjacent the other of the opposed walls, having a larger piston to exert a greater force and cause the first piston to bottom against a stop. The bearings receive air pressure along their inner surfaces for balancing the load on them and avoiding distortion.
