Racks are portions of a cylindrical disk with an infinite radius which includes involute shaped tooth cut into its face. Racks mate solely with spur gears which have the same module, pressure angle and preferably encounter width. EVER-POWER offers gear racks in many materials, configurations, modules and lengths. One exclusive feature of our racks is usually that most are supplied with finished ends. This kind of production permits multiple racks to be butted, end-to-end, to create one continuous length of rack. Many of the products that people offer allow for secondary operations such as for example reduction of the length, the adding of tapped holes, or the use of heat treatment. Our offering also includes products that have already had some of these secondary procedures completed. These products are discovered by a “J” within their part number and they are obtainable within 10 calendar days.
The straight tooth cylindrical gear that the radius of the pitch cylinder is infinite and in a bar form is named a gear rack. If it is sorted by the positions of the gear shafts, it is one of the parallel shaft category. The spur gear that meshes with a equipment rack is normally called a pinion.
Besides gear racks with straight collection the teeth, there are helical racks that have slanted tooth. Helical equipment racks are paired with helical gears, but because of the slant of the tooth direction, as in helical gears, the mesh produces axial thrust forces.
Among the apparatus racks’ primary applications are machine equipment and transport devices so when the applications involve transmitting linear motions, they are generally compared with ball screws. In those instances, the main benefits of gear racks can be named such as being able to satisfy a heavier load through the use of bigger modules and having no duration limitation by connecting gear racks with finished ends. On the other hand, an example of the 
disadvantages of equipment racks contains the occurrence of backlash.
When manufacturing gear racks, due to their bar form, bending often results. In such cases, corrective procedures using presses tend to be employed.
As for the type of gear racks, besides the usual bar form, there are round racks in which the cross sections are circular and flexible racks which may be bent into free curve shapes.
Racks Categories
EVER-POWER share racks are made for high precision linear movement applications. We offer a large collection of racks which range from module 0.5 to 10 and lengths from 100 to 2000 mm.
Hardened Surface Racks (MRGF – MRGFD)
Has the highest strength and precision in the EVER-POWER regular rack series. Bolt holes can be remachined as carburizing is certainly applied only within the tooth area. J Series products are also available.
Hardened Floor Racks (KRGF-H – KRGFD-H)
Heat treated surface gears with high precision and power has excellent cost-performance ratio. J Series products are also available.
Steel Racks (SR)
Low cost, large selections of modules and amount of teeth. J Series items are also available.
Stainless Steel Racks (SUR·SURF·SURFD)
Suitable for food machinery because of SUS304 material\’s rust-resistant quality.
Brass Racks (BSR)
Small pitch racks made of free-cutting brass, superb workability and high rust resistance.
Gear racks
Gear racks are used to convert rotating motion into linear movement. A equipment rack has straight the teeth cut into one surface area of a sq . or round portion of rod and operates with a pinion, which is usually a small cylindrical equipment meshing with the apparatus rack. Generally, gear rack and pinion are collectively known as “rack and pinion”. There are plenty of methods to use gears. For example, as proven in the picture, a gear is used with the gear rack to rotate a parallel shaft.
To provide many variations of rack and pinion, Ever-power has various kinds of gear racks in share. If the application takes a long length requiring multiple gear racks in series, we’ve racks with the tooth forms properly configured at the ends. They are described as “equipment racks with machined ends”. When a gear rack is created, the tooth cutting process and heat treatment process can cause it to try & walk out true. We are able to control this with special presses & remedial processes.
There are applications where in fact the gear rack is stationary, as the pinion traverses and others where in fact the pinion rotates on a fixed axis while the gear rack moves. The previous is used widely in conveying systems while the latter can be utilized in extrusion systems and lifting/lowering applications.
As a mechanical element to transfer rotary into linear movement, gear racks are often compared to ball screws. There are benefits and drawbacks for using racks in place of ball screws. The benefits of a gear rack are its mechanical simplicity, huge load carrying capacity, and no limit to the space, etc. One disadvantage though is the backlash. The benefits of a ball screw will be the high precision and lower backlash while its shortcomings are the limit in length due to deflection.
Rack and pinions are used for lifting mechanisms (vertical movement), horizontal movement, positioning mechanisms, stoppers and to permit the synchronous rotation of several shafts generally industrial machinery. However, also, they are found in steering systems to change the direction of vehicles. The characteristics of rack and pinion systems in steering are as follows: simple structure, high rigidity, small and lightweight, and superb responsiveness. With this mechanism, the pinion, installed to the steering shaft, is definitely meshed with a steering rack to transmit rotary motion laterlly (converting it to linear motion) so that you can control the wheel. In addition, rack and pinions are used for several other purposes, such as toys and lateral slide gates.

Strict QC inspection Top quality is top important during cooperation. We can make QC inspection strictly before ship out to ensure every piece stayed in a good condition. If any complications made by us after you received cases then we will full responsible to compensate you. Stable Supply As a manufacturer with strong capability for phone cases production, we have enough share to meet up your needs.
Gear rack, when used in combination with spur gears, converts rotary motion into linear motion. Gear rack from Ever-power is designed to operate with our share 14 1/2° and 20° PA spur gears.
Often, equipment rack is modified to match specific applications. This may include drilling and tapping installation holes, cutting to particular lengths or matching ends of two bits of rack to create a continuous duration longer than stock.
· Ever-power’s gear rack will come in 14 1/2° and 20° PA to suit an array of application requirements.
· Stocked in 4ft and 6ft lengths
· The selection of 48 to 3 DP meets an equally varied array of needs.
· Length tolerance allows ends to be matched for easy modification.
· Our in-stock inventory of nylon, and metal ensures availability – and compatibility.
· Because it is perfectly matched to Ever-power’s spur gears, our gear rack promises superior overall performance.
