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 gear rack for railway axle handling systems. Large load capacities and duty cycles can also be easily handled with these drives. Industries served include Material Managing, Automation, Aerospace, Machine Tool and Robotics.
Eliminates the need for another mounting surface area for the rail
Additional alignment between your 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 off of machine frame
This rack range further expands the already wide selection of ATLANTA rack & pinion drives. With this range, it is possible to achieve optimal designs for every application constraints. For suggestions on how to integrate the Integrated Rack into your design, 
please consult the factory.
Teeth: The teeth are the portion of the gear that makes connection with another gear. In order for two gears to mesh together the pitch must be the same for all mating pairs. The pitch of a gear may be the distance between equivalent points of adjacent the teeth. When the teeth of gears mesh properly they prevent slipping and will exhibit efficiencies as high as 98%.
Our Integrated Racks attach directly to most regular linear manuals, 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 apparatus being discussed. The two most relevant measurements, nevertheless, will be the root radius and the addendum radius. The root radius is the distance from the guts of the apparatus to the bottom of the teeth while the addendum radius (also known as the “pitch” radius) is the distance from the center of the apparatus to the outside of the teeth.
In order to make sure that the gear rack you purchase is right for your application, seek out a trusted and experienced gear rack manufacturer who’ll take time to listen to your application to be able to suggest the right product. Depending on your application and the requirements of this application, the teeth on the gear rack may need to end up being spaced a certain way to be able to provide correct torque and effectiveness. This small change can make an environment of difference in how your steering system or railway track features.
Gears are mechanisms that mesh together via teeth and so are used to transmit rotary movement from one shaft to another. Gears are described by two important items: radius and number of tooth. They are typically mounted, or linked to other parts, via a shaft or base.
