Air bearings also offer much higher stiffness than rolling element bearings because the air film fully supports the components, as opposed to balls or rollers which have point or line contact and are therefore limited due to Hertzian contact stiffness.
What this means for air bearings is that although they have a lower load capacity, gas bearings have essentially zero friction at all speeds and because the tight bearing clearances demand high accuracy components this results in extremely high accuracy motion.
