Straight-toothed rack and pinion

steelPOMaluminum

Product overview
Rack and pinion systems convert rotational motion into linear motion, or vice versa. Components are precision-ground and machined from Delrin (acetal), steel, aluminium alloys or cast materials to ensure accurate tooth engagement, smooth travel and repeatable positioning. Available in standard and custom pitch configurations for industrial linear-drive applications.

Pinion (Gear)

• Precision-machined circular gear for accurate tooth engagement.
• Converts rotary input to controlled linear movement.
• Engineered for efficient power transmission and low backlash.
• Supplied in Delrin, steel, aluminium or cast variants.

Rack (Linear Gear)

• Straight gear with precision-cut teeth for linear guidance.
• Ensures accurate positioning and high repeatability.
• Suitable for long travel and continuous stroke applications.
• Available in lengths and tooth profiles to customer specification.

Features
