A Gear Rack or Rack Gear consists of spur gear teeth or helical gear the teeth cut on a linear rectangular or circular rod. Both round equipment racks and linear gear racks serves as a a sector equipment with an infinitely large radius of curvature.

The most obvious use of a spur gear rack is to convert the rotary motion of a pinion gear into linear movement or vise versa. When assembled, they are referred to as a rack and pinion. Rack gears provide an benefit over ball screws because they have a large load carrying capacity and a simple design that allows linking multiple racks to meet your required length.
We carry both rectangular and round cross-section gear rack designs in a
range of precision pitches. All our ” and metric equipment racks have machined ends for applications needing the use of multiple gear racks in a string.
When your machine’s precision movement drive exceeds what can certainly and economically be achieved via ball screws, rack and pinion is the logical choice. Best of all, our gear rack comes with indexing holes and mounting holes pre-bored. That saves you plenty of time, hassle and expense.

If your travel length is more than can be obtained from a single amount of rack, no problem. Precision machined ends permit you to butt extra pieces and continue going.
A rack is also called equipment rack or simply Stainless Steel Gear Rack railing. They are rectangular shaped rods that are given on one side with toothing just like a gear. By using a gear that engages in the toothing of the rack, you’ll be able to move the apparatus or the rack longitudinally. Tooth racks are used, among other activities, in machines in which a rotational motion must be converted to an easy movement or vice versa.

If power transmitting is completed by gear coupling, module transmission must be used. Generally the module identifies the kind of the gear and it is the ratio between pitch and p. Module adjustments based on the pitch. Here following conversion table.
The existing industry standard, these 20° pressure angle gears have thicker, stronger teeth than 14½° pressure angle gears. In comparison to plastic material gears and racks, they’re better for high-load, high-speed, and durable applications. Also called spur gears.
