Racks are portions of a cylindrical disk with an infinite radius which includes involute shaped teeth cut into its encounter. Racks mate solely with spur gears which have the same module, pressure angle and preferably encounter width. EVER-POWER offers equipment racks in many components, configurations, modules and lengths. One unique feature of our racks is certainly that most are supplied with finished ends. This type of production permits multiple racks to become butted, end-to-end, to create one continuous amount of rack. Most of the products that we offer enable secondary functions such as for example reduction of the length, the adding of tapped holes, or the application of heat therapy. Our offering also contains products which have already had some of these secondary operations completed. These products are discovered by a “J” in their part number and they are available within 10 calendar days.
The straight tooth cylindrical gear that the radius of the pitch cylinder is infinite and in a bar form is named a gear rack. If it is sorted by the positions of the gear shafts, it is one of the parallel shaft category. The spur gear that meshes with a gear rack is generally called a pinion.
Besides gear racks with straight line teeth, there are helical racks which have slanted teeth. Helical gear racks are paired with helical gears, but due to the slant of the tooth path, as in helical gears, the mesh produces axial thrust forces.
Among the apparatus racks’ primary applications are machine equipment and transport devices and when the applications involve transmitting linear motions, they are often compared with ball screws. In those cases, the main benefits of gear racks could be named this kind of as being able to meet a heavier load by using bigger modules and having no length limitation by connecting gear racks with finished ends. On the other hand, an example of the disadvantages of gear racks contains the occurrence of backlash.
When manufacturing equipment racks, because of their bar shape, bending often outcomes. In these cases, corrective procedures using presses are often employed.
As for the kind of gear racks, besides the usual bar form, there are round racks in which the cross sections are circular and flexible racks which can be bent into free curve shapes.
Racks Categories
EVER-POWER stock racks are created for high precision linear motion applications. We offer a large collection of racks which range from module 0.5 to 10 and lengths from 100 to 2000 mm.
Hardened Surface Racks (MRGF – MRGFD)
Has the highest strength and precision in the EVER-POWER standard rack series. Bolt holes could be remachined as carburizing is definitely applied just within the tooth area. J Series products are also available.
Hardened Floor Racks (KRGF-H – KRGFD-H)
Heat treated surface gears with high precision and strength has superb cost-performance ratio. J Series items are also available.
Steel Racks (SR)
Low cost, huge selections of modules and amount of teeth. J Series products are also available.
Stainless Steel Racks (SUR·SURF·SURFD)
Suitable for food machinery due to SUS304 material\’s rust-resistant quality.
Brass Racks (BSR)
Small pitch racks made of free-cutting brass, excellent workability and high rust resistance.

Gear racks
Gear racks are utilized to convert rotating motion into linear movement. A equipment rack has straight tooth cut into one surface area of a sq . or round section of rod and operates with a pinion, which is definitely a small cylindrical gear meshing with the gear rack. Generally, equipment rack and pinion are collectively known as “rack and pinion”. There are plenty of methods to use gears. For instance, as proven in the picture, a gear is used with the apparatus rack to rotate a parallel shaft.
To provide many variants of rack and pinion, Ever-power has many types of gear racks in share. If the application requires a long size requiring multiple equipment racks in series, we have racks with the tooth forms properly configured at the ends. These are described as “equipment racks with machined ends”. Whenever a equipment rack is created, the tooth cutting procedure and heat treatment process could cause it to try & go out of true. We are able to control this with special presses & remedial processes.
There are applications where the gear rack is stationary, while the pinion traverses and others where the pinion rotates upon a fixed axis as the gear rack moves. The former is used widely in conveying systems while the latter can be utilized in extrusion systems and lifting/lowering applications.
As a mechanical component to transfer rotary into linear motion, gear racks are often in comparison to ball screws. There are pros and cons for using racks in place of ball screws. The benefits of a gear rack are its mechanical simplicity, large load carrying capacity, no limit to the distance, etc. One drawback though is the backlash. The benefits of a ball screw will be the high precision and lower backlash while its shortcomings are the limit in size due to deflection.
Rack and pinions are used for lifting mechanisms (vertical movement), horizontal motion, positioning mechanisms, stoppers and also to let the synchronous rotation of many shafts in general industrial machinery. However, they are also found in steering systems to change the direction of cars. The characteristics of rack and pinion systems in steering are the following: simple structure, high rigidity, small and lightweight, and exceptional responsiveness. With this mechanism, the pinion, mounted to the steering shaft, is meshed with a steering rack to transmit rotary motion laterlly (switching it to linear movement) so that you can control the wheel. In addition, rack and pinions are utilized for many other purposes, such as playthings and lateral slide gates.

Gear rack, when used in combination with spur gears, converts rotary motion into linear motion. Equipment rack from Ever-power is designed to operate with our stock 14 1/2° and 20° PA spur gears.
Often, equipment rack is modified to match specific applications. This may include drilling and tapping mounting holes, cutting to specific lengths or matching ends of two pieces of rack to create a continuous duration longer than stock.
· Ever-power’s gear rack comes in 14 1/2° and 20° PA to match an array of application requirements.
· Stocked in 4ft and 6ft lengths
· The selection of 48 to 3 DP meets an equally diverse array of needs.
· Length tolerance allows ends to be matched for easy modification.
· Our in-share inventory of nylon, and metal ensures availability – and compatibility.
· Because it is properly matched to Ever-power’s spur gears, our gear rack promises superior performance.
