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 material handling systems. Heavy load capacities and duty cycles may also be easily dealt with with these drives. Industries served include Materials Managing, Automation, Aerospace, Machine Tool and Robotics.

Eliminates the necessity for another mounting surface for the rail
Additional alignment between your rack and rail isn’t necessary
Space-conserving, performance optimized designs can be achieved
Different quality racks designed 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, it is possible to achieve optimal styles for almost any application constraints. For suggestions about how to integrate the Integrated Rack into your design, please seek advice from the factory.

Teeth: The teeth are the portion of the apparatus that makes contact with another gear. To ensure that two gears to mesh collectively the pitch must be the same for all mating pairs. The pitch of a gear may be the distance between equivalent points of adjacent tooth. When the teeth of gears mesh correctly they prevent slipping and will exhibit efficiencies of up to 98%.
Our Integrated Racks install directly to most standard linear manuals, eliminating the need for additional machining and alignment, saving money and time. Key benefits include:

Radius: The apparatus radius is defined differently depending on the particular portion of the gear being discussed. Both most relevant measurements, however, are the root radius and the addendum radius. The root radius is the distance from the center of the gear to the base of the teeth as the addendum radius (also called the “pitch” radius) may be the distance from the guts of the apparatus to the Gear Rack For Rack Actuator exterior of the teeth.

In order to make sure that the apparatus rack you purchase is right for the application, seek out a reliable and experienced gear rack manufacturer who will take the time to pay attention to your application in order to suggest the proper product. Depending on your application and the requirements of that application, the teeth on the gear rack may need to be spaced a specific way in order to provide appropriate torque and effectiveness. This small change could make an environment of difference in how your steering system or railway track functions.
Gears are mechanisms that mesh together via the teeth and are used to transmit rotary movement from one shaft to another. Gears are defined by two essential items: radius and amount of the teeth. They are typically mounted, or connected to other parts, via a shaft or base.
