These rack & pinion drives are perfect for a wide variety of applications, including axis drives requiring precise positioning & repeatability, traveling gantries & columns, pick & place robots, and material handling systems. Large load capacities and duty cycles can also be easily managed with these drives. Industries served include Materials Handling, Automation, Aerospace, Machine Tool and Robotics.

Eliminates the necessity for a separate mounting surface area for the rail
Additional alignment between the rack and rail is not necessary
Space-saving, performance optimized designs can be achieved
Different quality racks designed for best price-performance ratio
Allows assembly of rack and rail from machine frame
This rack range further expands the already wide selection of ATLANTA rack & pinion drives. With this range, you’ll be able to achieve optimal styles for every application constraints. For suggestions on how to integrate the Integrated Rack into your design, please consult the factory.

Teeth: The teeth are the portion of the apparatus that makes contact with another gear. In order for two gears to mesh collectively the pitch must be the same for all mating pairs. The pitch of a gear is the distance between equivalent points of adjacent teeth. When the teeth of gears mesh correctly they prevent slipping and can exhibit efficiencies as high as 98%.
Our Integrated Racks install directly to most standard linear guides, eliminating the need for additional machining and alignment, saving time and money. Key benefits include:

Radius: The gear radius is defined differently based on the particular portion of the gear being discussed. Both most relevant measurements, however, are the root radius and the addendum radius. The main radius may be the distance from the center of the apparatus to the bottom of the teeth while the addendum radius (also known as the “pitch” radius) may be the distance from the guts of the apparatus to the outside of the teeth.

In order to make sure that the apparatus rack you get is right for the application, seek out a reliable and skilled gear rack manufacturer who will take time to listen to your application in order to suggest the right Gear Rack For Rack Actuator product. Depending on the application and the requirements of this application, one’s teeth on the apparatus rack may need to become spaced a particular way in order to provide correct torque and efficiency. This small change can make an environment of difference in how your steering program or railway track functions.
Gears are mechanisms that mesh together via teeth and so are used to transmit rotary movement from one shaft to some other. Gears are defined by two essential items: radius and quantity of teeth. They are usually mounted, or linked to other parts, with a shaft or base.
