Most CMMs has 26 highly sensitive air bearings per machine. If oil and moisture are present in the air system supplying the air bearings, the .5mm hole in the bottom of the air bearing will become clogged producing a “drag” in the machine. As the resistance builds, it causes hysteresis in the measurements producing an inaccurate measurement.

There is only one sensible way to dry compressed air!.. refrigerant air dryers are becoming a thing of the past. High efficiency, durable membrane technology is quickly becoming the standard for drying compressed air. Parker Hannifin is leading the way with membrane technology that consumes the least amount of compressed air for regeneration.

Balston CMM Air Dryers combine a superior coalescing technology with a proven, innovative membrane system to supply clean, dry compressed air with a constant dewpoint to 35°F (2°C). The Balston CMM Air Dryers are available in 2 different models which can deliver dry, compressed air at flow rates up to 15 SCFM. The Balston Dryers are engineered for easy installation, operation, and long term reliability.
