Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve precision of mobility of the captioned device which uses a static pressure pneumatic bearing by providing a mobile plane on the side of a mobile body of the table and providing, in opposition to said plane, a fixed plane on a fixed side and further forming an oil film in a gap between both planes. CONSTITUTION:A mobile table device using a static pressure pneumatic bearing is provided with a mobile guide shaft 12 piercing through a mobile body 11, and both ends of said shaft 12 are fixed by means of fixing metal fittings 13. Further, pneumatic bearing gap 14 is formed between the inner periphery of the mobile body 11 and the outer periphery of the mobile guide shaft 12. A mobile plane body 15 is provided incidentally to one side of the mobile body 11 so that its plane is in parallel with the direction of movement. Further, a fixed plane body 16 is provided incidentally to an outer side of the mobile plane body 15. Then, a definite gap is secured between both plane bodies 15, 16 and filled with oil to form an oil film 17 by means of surface tension. Thus, irregular movement of about 0.1mum is controlled to the minimum by means of viscosity of the oil film 17.

Furthermore, a fixed plane body 16 is added to the outer side of the movable plane body 15.The movable plane body 15 makes the same movement as the movable body 11,
The fixed plane body 16 is fixed and does not move. Then, two devices are installed to ensure a certain gap between these two planes.Therefore, even if the moving body 11 moves, the two planes will not come into solid contact.Furthermore, the ensured certain gap is filled with oil. If the gap is appropriate, oil will always be held within the gap due to surface tension (2).
