Vertical Rack And Pinion Drive System

Thus proper sizing is critical to ensure the new servomotor will be able to move and control the load on the rack system.

Vertical rack and pinion drive system. Racks can be mounted together and are normally available in lengths from 500 mm up to 2000 mm. Tangential force on the rack. The built in lubrication kit allows the pinion to be easily greased for smooth operation and long life. New generation rack and pinion systems offer high dynamic performance and unlimited travel distance.

A rack has the property that it can be infinitely long and the accuracy when assembled correctly does not decrease. Entering data in sizing software. Size the rack and pinion drive based on peak cycle forces. Some include premium servogears and actuators with backlash less than 1 arc min efficiency to.

These systems are available in five levels of precision to meet any axis drive requirements. The perfect symbiosis of state of the art technology and many years of experience. Rack and pinion linear drive. 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.

They utilize our wide range of standard rack pinions quality levels from din 4 to. 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. 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. Selecting a suitable rack and pinion drive for an application also includes determining the required gear.

Therefore keep the following in mind. This system consists of a standard range of straight spur circumferential pitch and helical racks and pinions. A pinion of about 20 teeth is mathematically the optimum in terms of tangential force and system backlash. A larger pinion provides more backlash a smaller pinion can transmit lower torques and has a higher wear.

The pinion runs back and forth over the rack in fact a gear with an infinite radius. Use an automatic lubrication system with felt gear applicator to maintain gearing quality and longevity. 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. 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. The units are operated by hardened tempered and ground steel rack and pinion helical teeth gears.
