With the extensive know-how of our experienced experts in both tool and machine engineering, our clients benefit from a distinctive synergy effect that leads to an increased service life of both machine and tools, along with an optimal formed part quality. We aim to surpass your goals and gear rack for Machine Tool Industry china ensure your success with our quality.
For a long time, a machine tool builder had produced their own precision gear racks to accomplish ultra-precise positioning on their machines. They also needed this because their essential clients demanded that their devices maintain accurate positioning with no mistake compensation on the axis.
To save lots of costs, they wished to find a gear rack provider who could accomplish the same limited rack tolerances and performance level that they had come accustom to.
Choosing from their wide selection of standard rack & pinion drives, ATLANTA offered a Ultra-High Accuracy DIN 4 (UHPR) equipment rack, which acquired a complete pitch deviation of significantly less than twelve microns (< 0.012 mm) over a one meter length. The actual pitch deviation was measured at 20º C and marked on each rack. To achieve the high rack power the customer required, the main of one’s teeth were hardened combined with the tooth flanks. Finally, precision grinding was used to achieve the necessary flatness tolerances on the back and sides of the rack.
At Industrial Sprockets & Gears, Inc., we are capable of manufacturing complex gears and sprockets that no other manufacturers can create. The part shown here is a helical equipment rack that is utilized on a Maag gear manufacturing machine. The gear rack is 6′ long, has a nominal cross-section of 3” by 2”, and is constructed of 4130 steel.

The customer needed a replacement part which is essential to the procedure of their machine and had previously been unable to find someone with the capability to cut the required size of helical rack. Often customers e mail us because OEM parts are no longer available or are cost prohibitive. Often, clients have found that the quality of replacement parts made by us exceed the product quality their OEM parts.

Quite a few projects are unique within the market and represent many of the most challenging sizes and geometries of gears produced today. We maintain a wide variety of rare gear shaping tools and also advanced CNC milling and turning centers, that allows us to make a vast array of gear, sprocket, work, and rack sizes, styles, and patterns.

The rack was manufactured on a specialized CNC gear rack milling machine to tolerances as tight as ±0.001″. The client was not only pleased to find a manufacturer capable of producing the component; they remarked that the product quality far exceeded their goals. We produced this helical equipment rack with a business lead time of only fourteen days. For additional information about this custom gear rack machining project, contact us directly.
A rack and pinion drive program contains a rack (or a “linear gear”) and a pinion (or “circular gear”). The teeth of a rack and pinion drive can be directly or helical, although helical teeth are often used due to their higher load capability and quieter operation. For a rack and pinion drive system, the maximum force which can be transmitted is largely dependant on the tooth pitch and how big is the pinion.
