  • A Selection Guide for Linear Systems
    of drive mechanisms-ball screws, belts, rack and pinions, linear motors, and pneumatics-with guide and housing options to fit virtually any application, environment, or space constraint. The dilemma for engineers now is less about finding a system that will work for their application, and more
  • Differences Abound Between Traditional Rack and Pinion Twin Drives, Split-Pinion-Based Designs, and Roller-Pinion Systems
    with a traditional involute rack and pinion. The latter can require clearance between rack and gear teeth to prevent jams and excessive wear, or else environmental changes (such as a 10° temperature shift) can lock up the system as gear teeth expand. On the other hand, clearance results in backlash, which
  • ATLANTA Rack & Pinion Drives Featured in Motion Systems Design Magazine Article
    The November 2011 issue of Motion Systems Design Magazine features ATLANTA Rack and Pinion Drives in an article titled "Separating Rack & Pinion Myths From Reality". Rack and pinion drives are an age-old mechanism widely used for converting rotary motion into linear motion. However, myths
  • The First Family of Rack & Pinion Dedicated Reducers
    reducers specifically designed for use with racks on linear axes and ring gears on rotary axes for machine tools and automation equipment.
  • 4 Primary Application Parameters-Stroke, Load, Speed and Precision
    of drive mechanisms-ball screws, belts, rack and pinions, linear motors, and pneumatics-with guide and housing options to fit virtually any application, environment, or space constraint. The dilemma for engineers now is less about finding a system that will work for their application, and more
  • Integrated Rack Simplifies Machine Design on Waterjet Machine
    A manufacturer of waterjet cutting machines needed a axis drive solution for a new traveling gantry machine. They wanted to reduce the amount of machining needed for a typical rack & pinion drive, while simplifying assembly and alignment of the racks to their linear guides.
  • Can a Linear Actuator Provide the Rigidity and Accuracy of a Linear Stage?
    . This distinction implies that linear actuators can provide longer strokes and use a variety of drive mechanisms (belt, screw, rack and pinion), while stages generally have higher rigidity and use high-precision linear guides and drive mechanisms (typically a ball screw or linear motor) for excellent
  • Hybrid Linear Actuators: Technical Overview
    Converting the rotary motion of a stepping motor into linear motion can be accomplished by several mechanical means, including rack and pinion, belts and pulleys and other mechanical linkages. All of these designs require various mechanical components. The most effective way to accomplish
