  • 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
  • Differences Abound Between Traditional Rack and Pinion Twin Drives, Split-Pinion-Based Designs, and Roller-Pinion Systems
    From aerospace to machine tooling, glass cutting, medical and more, manufacturing processes depend on reliable motion control. Delivering the speed and precision required by these applications are various servo-controlled linear drive systems. One common setup combines servo controls
  • What are Planar Errors and How Do They Affect the Accuracy of a Linear Motion System?
    In an ideal world, a linear motion system would exhibit perfectly flat, straight motion and reach the intended position with zero error every time. But even the highest precision linear guides and drives (screws, rack and pinions, belts, linear motors) have some errors due to machining tolerances
  • How Axial and Radial Loads Affect Linear Motion Systems
    . But for rotating components such as screws, rack and pinion drives, or belt and pulley systems, loads are typically described as axial or radial -- terms adopted from rotary bearing technology. These terms are also sometimes used to describe loads on linear guides, although their relation to the direction
  • 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
  • Tractor Steering
    The tough operating environment of off-road equipment is a natural for Temposonics sensor steering position feedback. These proven sensors stand up to the most abusive shock and vibration requirements. MTS Temposonics sensors are ideally suited to linear rack and pinions or hydraulic-steering
