ABOUT OAV
In 2001, OAV Air Bearings underwent a critical transformation when it redefined its strategic direction and core focus under new leadership in HQ Princeton, NJ, USA. Originally founded in 1964, OAV initially focused on manufacturing machine components. The shift in 2001 marked a rebirth of the company as it began to specialize in high-precision applications for the aerospace and defense industries. This strategic realignment not only secured its position in the precision-bearing sector but also led to significant innovations such as the development of the Thrust Air Bearing and the OAV Roller Air Bearing. By 2011, OAV had expanded its product line to include over 1000 virtualy frictionless bearing products and components, showcasing its commitment to quality and performance. Today, OAV is celebrated as a premier manufacturer of advanced air-bearing technology and motion systems, with a robust global presence, exporting to over 100 different countries and known for its exceptional engineering and adherence to military specifications. This transformation has made OAV a cornerstone in industries demanding the highest levels of precision and reliability.
