A machine builder has an software to rotate tooling around an Aerospace element and would like to use a curved rack and pinion drive to achieve this. To keep up accurate positioning, there would be two axis drives to rotate the axis and remove backlash using electrical preloading.
The curved rack would be a special design simply by the customer based on the device requirements and the design envelope they have to work with.
ATLANTA could work with the client on the look of the curved rack to improve it’s manufacturability and concur that it would end up being able to handle the application loading. The rack was created as a special item 
and utilized ATLANTA’s vast experience and knowledge in gear production.
A precision planetary reducer was selected with a ISO flanged pinion mounted to the output to operate a vehicle on the rack. The flanged pinion provided a compact design to reduce the quantity of torque necessary at the reducer result. The reducer provided a rigid support of the flanged pinion and allowed for a large reduction ratio to obtain the motor speed up as high as feasible.
What is a equipment rack? A rack and pinion can be a couple of gears which convert gear rack for Aerospace Industry china rotational motion into linear motion. A circular equipment called the pinion engages teeth on a linear gear bar called the gear rack. Rotational motion applied to the pinion causes the gear rack to move, therefore translating the rotational movement of the pinion into the linear motion of the apparatus rack.
Automotive steering, milling machines, grinders, and meat processing machines are a several machines using gear racks. Equipment racks are also used in robotics, CNC routers, material handling systems, automation systems, and the aerospace sector.
We also offer customized gear rack production. We can manufacture equipment racks in various materials such as for example plastic, brass, steel and aluminum. We can also produce spur gears, bevel gears, helical gears, equipment clusters, metric gears, anti-backlash gears, worm gears, gear blanks, gear stock, pinion shafts, ratchets and pawls. We are able to also produce gears with pin hubs, clamp hubs, or hubless.
We manufacture a wide variety of gear types complete or can cut gear teeth upon consumer supplied blanks. We make rack and pinion gears, face gears, ring gears and other particular gears for the following industries: aviation, defense and aerospace instrumentation, industrial, energy, general market and equipment, health care, leisure, musical instrument, saw, scientific analysis and transportation. Ever-Power manufactures gears using modern machining solutions to customer specifications.
