Vertical Rack And Pinion Drive System

Use an automatic lubrication system with felt gear applicator to maintain gearing quality and longevity.

Vertical rack and pinion drive system.

Tangential force on the rack. Accelerations of up to 20 m s 2 2 g s repeatability values of 50 μm system single piece lengths between 700 and. A rack has the property that it can be infinitely long and the accuracy when assembled correctly does not decrease. Some include premium servogears and actuators with backlash less than 1 arc min efficiency to.

30 years of experience in the fields of gearbox construction toothing technology and the design of complete drive systems go into our rack and pinion systems. Rack and pinion linear drive. The pinion runs back and forth over the rack in fact a gear with an infinite radius. The modular design permits rack segment lengths from 0 5 to 2 meters to be linked together end to end achieving any desired travel length from standard components.

A larger pinion provides more backlash a smaller pinion can transmit lower torques and has a higher wear. The perfect symbiosis of state of the art technology and many years of experience. Selecting a suitable rack and pinion drive for an application also includes determining the required gear. They utilize our wide range of standard rack pinions quality levels from din 4 to.

Our specialist knowledge extends from the coupling of gearbox motor pinion and rack to complete system solutions. We use a step by step approach to entering data into our motor and drive manufacturer software about the rack and pinion system to have the ability to select a servomotor. Racks can be mounted together and are normally available in lengths from 500 mm up to 2000 mm. The built in lubrication kit allows the pinion to be easily greased for smooth operation and long life.

Size the rack and pinion drive based on peak cycle forces. By selecting the complete drive system all at once a system can be optimized for the servo motor while achieving the desired accuracy and motion at the rack pinion. This system consists of a standard range of straight spur circumferential pitch and helical racks and pinions. In a vertical application the load moves in the direction of the guide system so the force due to the moved mass is not affected by the coefficient of friction of the guide rails.

A pinion of about 20 teeth is mathematically the optimum in terms of tangential force and system backlash. This makes it only harder to calculate the rack and pinion. Thus proper sizing is critical to ensure the new servomotor will be able to move and control the load on the rack system. New generation rack and pinion systems offer high dynamic performance and unlimited travel distance.

Entering data in sizing software. These systems are available in five levels of precision to meet any axis drive requirements.
