These rack & pinion drives are perfect for a wide range of applications, including axis drives requiring precise gear rack for railway axle positioning & repeatability, traveling gantries & columns, pick & place robots, and materials handling systems. Heavy load capacities and duty cycles may also be easily managed with these drives. Industries served include Material Managing, Automation, Aerospace, Machine Tool and Robotics.

Eliminates the necessity for another mounting surface for the rail
Additional alignment between your rack and rail is not necessary
Space-conserving, performance optimized designs can be achieved
Different quality racks available for best price-performance ratio
Allows assembly of rack and rail off of machine frame
This rack range further expands the already wide variety of ATLANTA rack & pinion drives. With this range, you’ll be able to achieve optimal styles for almost any application constraints. For suggestions on how to integrate the Integrated Rack into your style, please seek advice from the factory.

Teeth: The teeth are the portion of the gear 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 equipment is the distance between comparative points of adjacent teeth. When the teeth of gears mesh correctly they prevent slipping and will exhibit efficiencies as high as 98%.
Our Integrated Racks mount directly to most standard linear guides, eliminating the need for additional machining and alignment, saving time and money. Key benefits include:

Radius: The gear radius is defined differently based on the particular portion of the gear being discussed. Both most relevant measurements, nevertheless, will be the root radius and the addendum radius. The main radius is the distance from the center of the gear to the bottom of the teeth while the addendum radius (also called the “pitch” radius) is the distance from the guts of the apparatus to the outside of the teeth.

In order to ensure that the apparatus rack you purchase is right for the application, seek out a trusted and skilled gear rack manufacturer who will take the time to listen to your application in order to suggest the proper product. Depending on the application and the requirements of this application, one’s teeth on the apparatus rack may need to become spaced a particular way in order to provide appropriate torque and performance. This small change could make an environment of difference in how your steering program or railway track features.
Gears are mechanisms that mesh together via teeth and so are used to transmit rotary motion from one shaft to another. Gears are described by two essential items: radius and number of the teeth. They are usually mounted, or connected to other parts, via a shaft or base.
