Vertical Rack And Pinion Drive System

Therefore keep the following in mind.

Vertical rack and pinion drive system. The perfect symbiosis of state of the art technology and many years of experience. The rack and pinion system is the primary building block of a linear axis drive. The modular design permits rack segment lengths from 0 5 to 2 meters to be linked together end to end achieving any desired travel length from standard components. This makes it only harder to calculate the rack and pinion.

30 years of experience in the fields of gearbox construction toothing technology and the design of complete drive systems go into our rack and pinion systems. This system consists of a standard range of straight spur circumferential pitch and helical racks and pinions. The force the rack sees referred to as the feed force or tangential. We use a step by step approach to entering data into our motor and drive manufacturer software about the rack and pinion system to have the ability to select a servomotor.

Entering data in sizing software. Size the rack and pinion drive based on peak cycle forces. Throughout a proud history stretching back over 70 years alimak have become recognised for a culture of constant innovation and product development not least for pioneering the first mast climbing platform to utilise the hard wearing and reliable rack and pinion drive system. Unlike ball screw sizing which must take into account factors such as characteristic and critical speeds end bearing considerations and the effects of preload in addition to basic thrust force and drive torque calculations rack and pinion drive sizing is primarily based on three factors.

Our specialist knowledge extends from the coupling of gearbox motor pinion and rack to complete system solutions. A larger pinion provides more backlash a smaller pinion can transmit lower torques and has a higher wear.
