The S1810Y-RB-5P is a 72 diametral pitch, 20° pressure angle, 416 stainless steel gear rack with a length of 11 inches, designed for linear motion applications. It has a pitch diameter tolerance of +0.000/−0.001, tooth-to-tooth spacing error of ±0.0005, and total accumulated spacing error of ±0.002. The rack's pitch line parallelism to base is held within ±0.001, and the tooth thickness and overall dimensions conform to the rectangular rack profile shown in Figure 1. The part is made from 416 stainless steel and supports precision motion control in mating with pinion gears.
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.
