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

Eliminates the need for a separate mounting surface for the rail
Additional alignment between the 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 selection of ATLANTA rack & pinion drives. With this range, it is possible to achieve optimal styles for every application constraints. For suggestions about how to integrate the Integrated Rack into your design, please seek advice from the factory.

Teeth: The teeth will be the portion of the gear that makes connection with another gear. To ensure that two gears to mesh together the pitch should be the same for all mating pairs. The pitch of a gear is the distance between comparative points of adjacent teeth. When one’s teeth of gears mesh properly they prevent slipping and will exhibit efficiencies as high as 98%.
Our Integrated Racks mount directly to most regular linear guides, eliminating the necessity for additional machining and alignment, saving money and time. Key benefits include:

Radius: The apparatus radius is defined differently depending on the particular portion of the gear being discussed. Both most relevant measurements, however, are the root radius and the addendum radius. The root radius is the distance from the guts of the apparatus to the base of the teeth while the addendum radius (also called the “pitch” radius) may be the distance from the guts of the gear to the outside of the teeth.

In order to make sure that the gear rack you get is right for the application, seek out a trusted and skilled gear rack manufacturer who’ll take time to listen to your application in order to suggest the proper product. Depending on your application and the requirements of that application, one’s teeth on the gear rack might need to be spaced a certain way in order to provide appropriate torque and performance. This small change can make an environment of difference in how your steering system or railway track features.
Gears are mechanisms that mesh together via teeth and are used to transmit rotary movement from one shaft to some other. Gears are described by two important items: radius and number of teeth. They are typically mounted, or connected to other parts, with a shaft or base.
