These rack & pinion drives are ideal for an array of applications, including axis drives requiring precise positioning & repeatability, traveling gantries & columns, pick & place robots, and material handling systems. Weighty load capacities and duty cycles may also be easily handled with these drives. Industries served include Materials Handling, Automation, 
Aerospace, Machine Tool and Robotics.
Eliminates the necessity for a separate mounting surface for the rail
Additional alignment between the rack and rail is not necessary
Space-saving, performance optimized designs can be achieved
Different quality racks available for best price-performance ratio
Allows assembly of rack and rail from machine frame
This rack range further expands the already wide variety of ATLANTA rack & pinion drives. With this range, you’ll be able to achieve optimal styles for every application constraints. For recommendations on how to integrate the Integrated Rack into your design, please seek advice from the factory.
Teeth: The teeth will be the portion of the apparatus that makes contact with another gear. To ensure that two gears to mesh together the pitch must be the same for all mating pairs. The pitch of a gear is the distance between equivalent points of adjacent tooth. When the teeth of gears mesh properly they prevent slipping and can exhibit efficiencies of up to 98%.
Our Integrated Racks attach directly to most regular linear guides, eliminating the necessity for additional machining and alignment, saving money and time. Key benefits include:
Radius: The gear radius is defined differently based on the particular portion of the gear being discussed. The two most relevant measurements, however, will be the root radius and the addendum radius. The main radius is the distance from the center of the apparatus to the base of the teeth while the addendum radius (also known as the “pitch” radius) is the distance from the guts of the gear to the outside of the teeth.
In order to ensure that the apparatus rack you purchase is right for your application, seek out a trusted and experienced gear rack Gear Rack For Rack Actuator manufacturer who’ll take the time to listen to your application to be able to suggest the right product. Depending on the application and the requirements of this application, the teeth on the gear rack may need to become spaced a certain way to be able to provide appropriate torque and performance. This small change can make a world of difference in how your steering program or railway track features.
Gears are mechanisms that mesh together via tooth and are used to transmit rotary motion from one shaft to another. Gears are defined by two important items: radius and amount of teeth. They are typically mounted, or linked to other parts, via a shaft or base.
