These rack & pinion drives are ideal for a wide selection 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 taken care of with these drives. Industries served include Material Handling, Automation, Aerospace, Machine Tool and Robotics.
Eliminates the need for a separate mounting surface area for the rail
Additional alignment between the rack and rail is not necessary
Space-saving, performance optimized designs may be accomplished
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 selection of ATLANTA rack & pinion drives. With this range, it is possible to achieve optimal styles for almost any application constraints. For suggestions on how to integrate the Integrated Rack into your style, please consult the factory.
Teeth: The teeth will be the portion of the gear that makes connection with another gear. In order for two gears to mesh with each other the pitch should be the same for all mating pairs. The pitch of a gear may be the distance between comparative points of adjacent the teeth. When one’s teeth of gears mesh correctly they prevent 
slipping and will exhibit efficiencies as high as 98%.
Our Integrated Racks install directly to most regular linear guides, eliminating the need for additional machining and alignment, saving money and time. Key benefits include:
Radius: The gear gear rack for railway axle radius is defined differently based on the particular section 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 gear to the bottom of the teeth as the addendum radius (also called the “pitch” radius) is the distance from the center of the gear to the exterior of the teeth.
In order to make sure that the gear rack you purchase is right for your application, seek out a reliable and experienced gear rack manufacturer who will take time to listen to your application to be able to suggest the proper product. Depending on the application and the requirements of this application, one’s teeth on the gear rack might need to become spaced a specific way to be able to provide correct torque and performance. This small change could make a world of difference in how your steering system or railway track features.
Gears are mechanisms that mesh together via the teeth and so are used to transmit rotary motion from one shaft to another. Gears are defined by two important items: radius and quantity of teeth. They are usually mounted, or connected to other parts, with a shaft or base.
