A Equipment Rack or Rack Gear consists of spur gear tooth or helical gear tooth cut on a linear rectangular or round rod. Both round gear racks and linear equipment racks can be described as a sector gear with an infinitely large radius of curvature.

The most obvious use 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 offer an benefit over ball screws because they possess a large load carrying ability and a straightforward design that allows linking multiple racks to meet your required length.
We carry both rectangular and circular cross-section gear rack designs in a
selection of precision pitches. All our in . and metric equipment racks possess machined ends for applications needing the use of multiple gear racks in a series.
Whenever your machine’s precision movement drive exceeds what can easily and economically be performed via ball screws, rack and pinion is the logical choice. On top of that, our gear rack comes with indexing holes and installation holes pre-bored. That will save you lots of time, hassle and expense.

If your travel duration is more than can be obtained from a single length of rack, no issue. Precision machined ends allow you to butt extra pieces and keep on going.
A rack can be called gear rack or just railing. They are rectangular shaped rods that are provided on one side with toothing just like a gear. By using a gear that partcipates in the toothing of the rack, it is possible to move the gear or the rack longitudinally. Tooth racks are utilized, among other activities, in machines in which a rotational motion must be converted to a straightforward motion or vice versa.

If power transmission is carried out by gear coupling, module transmission must be used. Usually the module identifies the type of the gear in fact it is the ratio between pitch and p. Module adjustments according to the pitch. Here following conversion table.
The existing industry standard, these 20° pressure angle gears have thicker, stronger teeth than 14½° pressure angle gears. In comparison to plastic-type gears and racks, they’re Stainless Steel Gear Rack better for high-load, high-speed, and heavy duty applications. Also referred to as spur gears.
