A 1P12MY08B300 is a metric gear rack with a module of 0.8, a 20° pressure angle, and a length of 300 mm, constructed from nylon. It has a face width of 6.3 mm, a height of 6.3 mm, and a pitch of 5.56 mm. The rack features a length tolerance of ±4.1 mm. This part is part of a series of metric racks designed for linear motion applications using a pinion gear.
A gear rack is used to create linear motion out of rotary motion. Gear racks have square or round shafts with straight, equally spaced teeth; a pinion gear’s teeth mesh with the teeth of the rack. We combined as a unit they are referred to as a “rack and pinion”.
Gear racks are used in a variety of applications, and it may be necessary to pair them for length. Pairing can be accomplished by having racks with matching machined ends. They can also be modified to contain mounting holes. Racks and pinions are found in lifting and positioning systems where vertical or horizontal linear movement is necessary. They are commonly found in steering systems for vehicles, lathes, packaging machines, depth and height gauges, elevators, gates, stair lifts, and pneumatic actuators, to name a few.
Our inch and metric gear racks are available in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, nylon, and plastic in a variety of finishes and heat treatments, in pitches ranging from 120 to 1/20 and modules from 0.3 to 10.
