Racks

True Gear & Spline Ltd. is also a manufacturer of cutting-edge rack systems. These comprise a straight or curved bar with grooves or teeth on one end. Racks are often paired with a circular gear, known as a pinion, which meshes with them. Available in a length of 100’’, our racks have a maximum diametral pitch of 2, although we can also manufacture racks with a maximum diametral pitch of 3 upon special request. Our racks are used by our client base in the automotive, CNC machining, gate and door, industrial lifting, railways and press machinery sectors.

DESCRIPTION

Up to 100” long

2 DP Max.

*Larger pitches available through subcontracting (up to 3 DP)

APPLICATIONS

- Automotive Sector: Racks are mainly used in conjunction with a pinion in the vehicle’s steering system to convert rotational motion of the wheel into linear motion

- CNC Machining: In the case of CNC machining, racks serve to convert rotational motion into linear motion in  a precise manner

- Gate And Door: Automated gates and doors use racks to open and close them effectively in a sliding motion

- Industrial Lifting: They are primarily used in elevators and hoists to convert the rotational motion of the motor into a vertical linear motion

- Railway: Racks are mainly used in railways, especially in steep gradients where adhesion does not offer enough traction and requires additional traction

- Press Machine: Racks enable precise linear motion in press machines, which emerge as an excellent alternative to hydraulics

FEATURES

- Racks are known for their ability to handle heavy loads and long strokes/ travel distances without facing any disruption

- They are ideal for open settings or environments where belts, screws or other alternatives might not perform well
