A Equipment Rack or Rack Equipment contains spur gear teeth or helical gear tooth cut on a linear rectangular or circular rod. Both round equipment racks and linear equipment racks can be described as a sector gear with an infinitely huge radius of curvature.
The 
most obvious usage of a spur gear rack is to convert the rotary movement 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 possess a huge load carrying ability and a simple design which allows linking multiple racks to meet your required length.
We carry both rectangular and circular cross-section gear rack styles in a
range of precision pitches. All our in . and metric equipment racks have machined ends for applications needing the use of multiple equipment racks in a series.
When your machine's precision movement drive exceeds what can simply and economically be achieved via ball screws, rack and pinion may be the logical choice. On top of that, our gear rack comes with indexing holes and installation holes pre-bored. That will save you plenty of time, hassle and expenditure.
If your travel length is more than can be acquired from a single length of rack, no problem. Precision machined ends enable you to butt additional pieces and continue going.
A rack can be called equipment rack or just railing. They are rectangular shaped rods that are provided on one part with toothing as being a gear. By using a gear that partcipates in the toothing of the rack, you'll be able to move the apparatus or the rack longitudinally. Tooth racks are utilized, among other things, in machines in which a rotational motion must be converted to an easy movement or vice versa.
If power transmission is carried out by gear coupling, module transmission can be used. Usually the module identifies the type of the gear and it is the ratio between pitch and p. Module adjustments according to the pitch. Here following the conversion table.
The current industry standard, these 20° pressure angle gears have thicker, more powerful teeth than 14½° pressure angle gears. Compared to Stainless Steel Gear Rack plastic material gears and racks, they’re better for high-load, high-speed, and heavy duty applications. Also known as spur gears.
