The　current　research　work　develops　a　Mechatronics　prototype　for　low-cost　aerostatic　bearing　that　is　controlled　with　the　help　of　an　Arduino　board,　electro-pneumatic　high-speed　valves,　and　feedback　transducers.　The　purpose　of　this　prototype　is　to　make　low-cost　and　compact　size　active　aerostatic　thrust　bearing　with　small　dimensions　so　that　it　can　be　used　in　sliding　machine　guideways　for　linear　translation　motions.　Active　aerostatic　bearing　with　its　supporting　components　is　designed　in　solid　work　and　produced　with　a　high　precision　CNC　machining　process.　There　are　two　high-speed　electro-pneumatic　digital　valves　that　are　controlled　by　an　Arduino　board　through　PWM　techniques.　These　two　valves　are　responsible　for　controlling　flow　for　aerostatic　bearing.　Two　types　of　control　systems　are　implemented　such　open-loop　control　and　closed-loop　control.　PID　control　with　the　help　of　pressure　sensor　feedback　makes　a　closed-loop　control　system.　The　experiments　are　performed　to　check　the　performance　of　closed　and　open-loop　control　systems　under　different　dynamics　conditions　of　external　load　force.　©　2021　IEEE.
