The S1810Y-RC-6A is an aluminum gear rack with an 80 diametral pitch and 20° pressure angle, designed for linear motion applications. It measures 0.3425 inches in pitch diameter and has a face width of 0.355 inches. The rack includes four mounting holes, each 0.120 inches in diameter, positioned for 72, 80, 96, and 120 pitch variants. Tooth-to-tooth spacing error is held to ±0.0005 inches, with total accumulated spacing error not exceeding ±0.002 inches. Parallelism of the pitch line to the base is within ±0.001 inches. The part is non-RoHS compliant due to chromic acid anodization.
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.
