bearing type and lubrication for static friction minimization
bearing type and lubrication for static friction minimization
(OP)
I am designing a 3 DOF minimal friction mount (like a globe stand) for an approximately 2kg device and am looking for a bearing solution that will provide the lowest possible static friction and dynamic friction at very low rates of speed (~1 rpm).
I was wondering if there is a specific type of bearing known for these properties or whether there is a bearing lubricant that would fit the bill.
Thanks in advance.

I definately would give Bal-Tec a call.

Air bearing or hydrostatic

All depends on speed, applied load etc etc.
