Racks are portions of a cylindrical disk with an infinite radius which includes involute shaped teeth cut into its face. Racks mate specifically with spur gears that have the same module, pressure position and preferably face width. EVER-POWER offers gear racks in many materials, configurations, modules and lengths. One unique feature of our racks is usually that most are given finished ends. This type of production allows for multiple racks to become butted, end-to-end, to create one continuous amount of rack. Many of the products that people offer allow for secondary functions such as for example reduction of the length, the adding of tapped holes, or the application of heat therapy. Our offering also includes products that have already had a few of these secondary procedures completed. These products are discovered by a “J” within their part number plus they are offered within 10 calendar days.
The straight tooth cylindrical gear for which the radius of the pitch cylinder is infinite and in a bar form is called a gear rack. If it’s sorted by the positions of the apparatus shafts, it is one of the parallel shaft category. The spur equipment that meshes with a equipment rack is normally called a pinion.
Besides gear racks with straight range teeth, there are helical racks which have slanted tooth. Helical equipment racks are paired with helical gears, but due to the slant of the tooth path, as in helical gears, the mesh generates axial thrust forces.
Among the gear racks’ main applications are machine tools and transport devices so when the applications involve transmitting linear motions, they are generally weighed against ball screws. In those cases, the main benefits of gear racks could be named this kind of as having the ability to fulfill a heavier load through the use of larger modules and having no size limitation by connecting equipment racks with finished ends. On the other hand, a good example of the disadvantages of gear racks contains the occurrence of backlash.
When manufacturing gear racks, due to their bar shape, bending often outcomes. In such cases, corrective procedures using presses are often employed.
As for the kind of gear racks, besides the usual bar form, there are round racks in which the cross sections are circular and flexible racks which can be bent into free curve shapes.
Racks Categories
EVER-POWER share racks are created for high precision linear motion applications. We offer a large selection of racks which range from module 0.5 to 10 and lengths from 100 to 2000 mm.
Hardened Floor Racks (MRGF – MRGFD)
Has the highest strength and precision in the EVER-POWER standard rack series. Bolt holes could be remachined as carburizing is certainly applied only within the tooth region. J Series products are also available.
Hardened Surface Racks (KRGF-H – KRGFD-H)
Heat treated surface gears with high precision and power has exceptional cost-performance ratio. J Series items are also available.
Steel Racks (SR)
Low cost, huge selections of modules and amount of teeth. J Series items are also available.
Stainless Steel Racks (SUR·SURF·SURFD)
Ideal for food machinery because of SUS304 material\’s rust-resistant quality.
Brass Racks (BSR)
Small pitch racks manufactured from free-cutting brass, exceptional workability and high rust resistance.

Gear racks
Gear racks are used to convert rotating movement into linear movement. A equipment rack has straight teeth cut into one surface of a sq . or round section of rod and operates with a pinion, which is a small cylindrical gear meshing with the apparatus rack. Generally, gear rack and pinion are collectively called “rack and pinion”. There are many ways to use gears. For instance, as proven in the picture, a equipment is used with the gear rack to rotate a parallel shaft.
To provide many variants of rack and pinion, Ever-power has many types of equipment racks in stock. If the application takes a long length requiring multiple gear racks in series, we have racks with the tooth forms correctly configured at the ends. These are described as “equipment racks with machined ends”. Whenever a equipment rack is created, the tooth cutting procedure and the heat treatment process can cause it to try & go out of true. We are able to control this with particular presses & remedial processes.
There are applications where in fact the gear rack is stationary, while the pinion traverses and others where the pinion rotates upon a fixed axis as the gear rack moves. The previous is used broadly in conveying systems while the latter can be used in extrusion systems and lifting/lowering applications.
As a mechanical element to transfer rotary into linear movement, gear racks tend to be in comparison to ball screws. There are benefits and drawbacks for using racks instead of ball screws. The advantages of a gear rack are its mechanical simplicity, large load carrying capacity, no limit to the space, etc. One disadvantage though is the backlash. The benefits of a ball screw will be the high precision and lower backlash while its shortcomings include the limit in duration due to deflection.
Rack and pinions are used for lifting mechanisms (vertical movement), horizontal movement, positioning mechanisms, stoppers and to let the synchronous rotation of a number of shafts in general industrial machinery. However, also, they are used in steering systems to improve the direction of vehicles. The features of rack and pinion systems in steering are the following: simple structure, high rigidity, small and lightweight, and superb responsiveness. With this mechanism, the pinion, mounted to the steering shaft, is definitely meshed with a steering rack to transmit rotary motion laterlly (transforming it to linear motion) so that you can control the wheel. Furthermore, rack and pinions are utilized for several other purposes, such as toys and lateral slide gates.

Strict QC inspection Good quality is top important during cooperation. We will make QC inspection strictly before ship out to ensure every piece stayed in a good condition. If any problems made by us after you received cases then we will full responsible to compensate you. Steady Supply As a manufacturer with strong capability for phone cases production, we have enough stock to meet your needs.
Gear rack, when used with spur gears, converts rotary movement into linear motion. Equipment rack from Ever-power is made to operate with our share 14 1/2° and 20° PA spur gears.
Often, equipment rack is modified to match specific applications. This may consist of drilling and tapping mounting holes, cutting to specific lengths or coordinating ends of two bits of rack to make a continuous duration longer than stock.
· Ever-power’s gear rack will come in 14 1/2° and 20° PA to suit a wide variety of application requirements.
· Stocked in 4ft and 6ft lengths
· The choice of 48 to 3 DP meets an equally different array of needs.
· Length tolerance enables ends to be matched for easy modification.
· Our in-share inventory of nylon, and metal ensures availability – and compatibility.
· Because it is perfectly matched to Ever-power’s spur gears, our gear rack promises superior efficiency.
