Rack and pinion

Correct mounting of racks is very important, not only for the accuracy of the entire installation but also for wear.

In this video we show how to install and adjust a gearbox with pinion in a rack & pinion application to avoid backlash and wear.

We tell you everything about the quality classes (and pitch deviation) of racks and explain why the name is not sufficient for a comparison

Here we show how the application determines which servomotor-gearbox combination, and subsequently rack and pinion, can be used.

Determining a linear drive is not easy and has to do with an interplay between gear rack, pinion, gearbox and motor.

The Curvic Plate has the highest power transmission, backlash-free mounting and has no restriction on the bolt pitch circle.
