This integrated and coordinated development of thermoforming machines and tools is our most significant customer benefit and unique on the thermoforming market. With the extensive know-how of our skilled experts in both device and machine engineering, our customers benefit from a distinctive synergy gear rack for Machine Tool Industry china effect that leads to a higher service existence of both machine and tools, along with an optimal formed part quality. We aim to surpass your objectives and ensure your success with this quality.
For years, a machine tool builder had manufactured their personal precision gear racks to accomplish ultra-precise positioning on the machines. They also needed this because their critical clients demanded that their devices maintain accurate positioning without any error compensation on the axis.
To save lots of costs, they wished to look for a gear rack supplier who could achieve the same tight rack tolerances and performance level that they had come accustom to.
Choosing from their wide range of regular rack & pinion drives, ATLANTA offered a Ultra-High Precision DIN 4 (UHPR) gear rack, which got a 
total pitch deviation of less than twelve microns (< 0.012 mm) over a 1 meter length. The actual pitch deviation was measured at 20º C and marked on each rack.
To attain the high rack strength the customer required, the root of one’s teeth were hardened along with the tooth flanks. Finally, precision grinding was utilized to achieve the needed flatness tolerances on the back and sides of the rack.
At Industrial Sprockets & Gears, Inc., we can handle manufacturing complicated gears and sprockets that no various other manufacturers can create. The part shown this is a helical equipment rack that is used on a Maag equipment manufacturing machine. The gear rack is 6′ long, has a nominal cross-section of 3” by 2”, and is constructed of 4130 steel.
The customer needed a replacement part which is necessary to the procedure of their machine and had previously been struggling to find someone with the capability to cut the required size of helical rack. Often customers e mail us because OEM parts are no more available or are cost prohibitive. Often, customers have found that the grade of replacement parts produced by us exceed the product quality their OEM parts.
Many of our projects are exclusive within the industry and represent one of the most challenging sizes and geometries of gears produced today. We maintain a wide selection of rare gear shaping tools along with advanced CNC milling and turning centers, which allows us to make a vast selection of gear, sprocket, work, and rack sizes, forms, and patterns.
The rack was manufactured on a specialized CNC gear rack milling machine to tolerances as tight as ±0.001″. The client was not only pleased to find a manufacturer capable of producing the part; they remarked that the product quality far exceeded their targets. We created this helical equipment rack with a business lead time of only fourteen days. For additional information about this custom gear rack machining project, contact us directly.
A rack and pinion drive system includes a rack (or a “linear equipment”) and a pinion (or “circular gear”). One’s teeth of a rack and pinion drive can be directly or helical, although helical teeth are often used due to their higher load capability and quieter operation. For a rack and pinion drive system, the maximum force which can be transmitted is basically determined by the tooth pitch and how big is the pinion.
