When it comes to CMM measurement and inspection, only the best components will suffice. Accurate measurement requires smooth, vibration-free action with ultra-high resolution, and New Way air bearings are leading the industry. However, we know that purchasing a new CMM machine can be extremely costly. That’s why New Way offers a comprehensive library of Sheffield CMM service and retrofit bearings to bring the power of Porous Media Technology™ to older machines.

With New Way, older and rebuilt machines can see astonishing results, and we are dedicated to making the retrofit process as easy as possible. Simply look at our special part numbering system to cross-reference the original Sheffield bearing to the New Way retrofit bearing. Our drop-in bearings come in a huge range of sizes to replace obsolete conventional bearings, orifice bearings, and even other porous graphite bearings from any Sheffield CMM machine.

So whether you are a technician looking to service old CMM bearings or a rebuilder providing new life to an old machine, you can experience the power of contactless, zero-hysteresis, crash-resistant air bearings.
