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 handling systems. Large load capacities and duty cycles may also be easily managed with these drives. Industries served include Material Handling, Automation, Aerospace, Machine Tool and Robotics.
Eliminates the necessity for a separate mounting surface for the rail
Additional alignment between the rack and rail is not necessary
Space-saving, performance optimized designs can be achieved
Different quality racks available for best price-performance ratio
Allows assembly of rack and rail from machine 
frame
This rack range further expands the already wide range of ATLANTA rack & pinion drives. With this range, you’ll be able to achieve optimal styles for every application constraints. For recommendations on how to integrate the Integrated Rack into your design, please seek advice from the factory.
Teeth: The teeth are the portion of the apparatus that makes connection with another gear. In order for two gears to mesh with each other the pitch should be the same for all mating pairs. The pitch of a gear may be the distance between equivalent points of adjacent tooth. When the teeth of gears mesh correctly they prevent slipping and will exhibit gear rack for railway axle efficiencies as high as 98%.
Our Integrated Racks install directly to most standard linear guides, eliminating the need for additional machining and alignment, saving money and time. Key benefits include:
Radius: The gear radius is defined differently depending on the particular portion of the gear being discussed. The two most relevant measurements, nevertheless, are the root radius and the addendum radius. The main radius may be the distance from the guts of the apparatus to the bottom of the teeth as the addendum radius (also known as the “pitch” radius) may be the distance from the center of the apparatus to the exterior of the teeth.
In order to ensure that the gear rack you purchase is right for your application, seek out a reliable and experienced gear rack manufacturer who’ll take the time to pay attention to your application in order to suggest the right product. Depending on the application and the requirements of this application, one’s teeth on the gear rack may need to be spaced a certain way in order to provide correct torque and efficiency. This small change could 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 motion from one shaft to another. Gears are described by two important items: radius and amount of tooth. They are typically mounted, or connected to other parts, via a shaft or base.
