According to the Market IntelliX Study, the global market for Foil Journal Air Bearing should grow from US$ 18.9 million in 2025 to US$ 49.7 million by 2031, with a CAGR of 17.4% for the period of 2025 -2031.
This report provides insights into the global foil journal air bearing market, focusing on high-speed rotary machinery in aerospace, semiconductor, and industrial applications. It analyzes design performance, material durability, and maintenance-free operation. Premium foil bearings are compared with traditional rolling-contact alternatives, showcasing trends in friction reduction and lifespan extension.

A Foil Journal Air Bearing is a type of bearing that uses air pressure to support a rotating shaft, offering advantages such as high speed, high precision, and low friction. Its working principle is based on aerodynamic pressure lubrication, where when the rotor rotates at high speed, air from the environment is drawn into the wedge-shaped gap of the bearing, forming a high-pressure air film that effectively supports the rotor. This bearing has advantages such as adaptive flexibility, high load-bearing capacity, superior stability, maintenance-free operation, compact structure, low machining precision requirements, good high and low temperature operating performance, and low friction loss.
