Gear racks are utilised to convert rotational movement into linear motion. A gear rack has straight teeth cut into one surface of a square or round section of rod and operates with a pinion, which is a small cylindrical gear meshing with the gear rack.
Generally, gear rack and pinion are collectively called “rack and pinion”. There are many ways to use gears. For example, as shown in the picture, a gear is used with the gear rack to rotate a parallel shaft.
Global CNC rack gear measuring system market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Large Selection of High Quality Racks and Pinions for Applications Requiring Very Accurate Positioning KHK USA Inc., distributor of the market leading KHK brand of metric gears, announces its extensive line of Premium Circular Pitch Racks and Pinions, manufactured to the highest quality standards by Kohara Gear Industry CoJapan.
KHK’s large selection of CP Racks & Pinions, available in many materials and configurations, are suitable for a wide range of applications where very accurate positioning in linear motion is required. KHK CP Racks & Pinions are engineered to simplify the application design process, such that a specific number of revolutions of the gear will result in an exact distance of translation on the gear rack. Circular pitch is defined as module / pi.
For example, a circular pitch of CP5 would equate to a pitch of 5mm. and for a 20 tooth pinion, one revolution would result in 100mm of travel.From the many available materials and configurations, the KHK USA online catalogue makes it easy to find the best solution for each particular application.
Using the menu-driven interface, simply specify the required attributes, such as circular pitch, pitch diameter, number of teeth, and length of the rack.
Among the options are hardened ground alloy steel racks and spur gears for enhanced strength and precision and thermal refined components for excellent abrasion resistance. Tapered racks and pinions allow the backlash to be adjusted.
