Rack & Pinion
Rack and pinion manufacturing is the process of producing a type of gear system that consists of a circular gear (pinion) and a linear bar with teeth (rack). Rack and pinion systems are used to convert rotational motion into linear motion, or vice versa. They are commonly used in steering mechanisms, machine tools, robotics, etc. Some common applications of rack and pinion systems are:
- Steering systems in automobiles: Rack and pinion systems are used to convert the rotational motion of the steering wheel into the linear motion of the steering rack, which then controls the direction of the wheels. This allows the driver to steer the vehicle with less effort and more precision.
- Machine tools and robotics: Rack and pinion systems are used to control the movement of the cutting tool or the robot arm on CNC machines and robotic devices. The linear motion provided by the rack and pinion system enables high accuracy and speed in machining and assembly operations.
- Conveyor systems and lifting equipment: Helical gears can handle more load than spur gears because the helical gear tooth is diagonally positioned and therefore effectively larger.
- Smooth Operation: Rack and pinion systems are used to move loads or objects along a linear path in conveyor systems and lifting equipment. The rack and pinion system can handle various weights and sizes of loads, as well as different speeds and distances.
