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 materials handling systems. Heavy load capacities and duty cycles may also be easily taken care of with these drives. Industries served include Materials Handling, Automation, Aerospace, Machine Tool and Robotics.

Eliminates the need for another mounting surface for the rail
Additional alignment between your rack and rail is not necessary
Space-conserving, performance optimized designs can be achieved
Different quality racks designed for best price-performance ratio
Allows assembly of rack and rail off of machine frame
This rack range further expands the already wide variety of ATLANTA rack & pinion drives. With this range, it is possible to achieve optimal designs for almost any Gear Rack For Rack Actuator application constraints. For suggestions about how to integrate the Integrated Rack into your style, please seek advice from the factory.

Teeth: The teeth will be the portion of the gear 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 equipment is the distance between equivalent 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 necessity for additional machining and alignment, saving money and time. Key benefits include:

Radius: The apparatus radius is defined differently depending on the particular section of the gear being discussed. The two most relevant measurements, however, are the root radius and the addendum radius. The main radius is the distance from the guts of the gear to the bottom of the teeth while the addendum radius (also called the “pitch” radius) is the distance from the center of the apparatus to the outside of the teeth.

In order to make sure that the apparatus rack you purchase is right for your application, seek out a trusted and skilled gear rack manufacturer who’ll take the time to pay attention to your application in order to suggest the proper product. Depending on the application and the requirements of that application, one’s teeth on the apparatus rack might need to become spaced a certain way in order to provide appropriate torque and efficiency. This small change can make a world of difference in how your steering system or railway track features.
Gears are mechanisms that mesh together via tooth and are used to transmit rotary movement from one shaft to another. Gears are defined by two essential items: radius and quantity of tooth. They are usually mounted, or connected to other parts, via a shaft or base.
