Rack and pinion gears are made of a small round spur gear (the pinion) and a flat bar with evenly spaced teeth (the rack). Rack and pinion gears convert rotational motion into linear motion. As the pinion turns, its teeth mesh with the rack’s teeth to move it in a straight line. Rack and pinion gears are widely used in automotive steering, meat processing, and rack railways, among other applications.
Gear racks are utilized to convert rotating movement into linear motion. A gear rack has straight teeth cut into one surface of a square or round section rod with a pinion, which is a small cylindrical gear meshing with the gear rack. There are many ways to use gears. For example, as shown in the picture, a gear is used with the gear rack to rotate a parallel shaft.
Features：
1.Gear rack for use with spur gear pinion to convert rotary motion into linear motion1. H-wear resistance, seven times wear resistance than steel, four times than PTFE.
2. Good self-lubrication, the same as PTFE, better than steel and brass appended lubricating oil.
3. Good anti-corrosion resistance, it has very stable chemicals property and can endure the corrosion of all kinds of corrosive medium and organic solvent in certain rang of temperature and humidity.
4. Good low temperature resistance, in liquefied nitrogen (- 196), it still has the prolongation. few other materials can reach to this performance.
We also offer custom gear rack manufacturing. We can also manufacture spur gears, bevel gears, helical gears, gear clusters, metric gears, anti-backlash gears, worm gears, gear blanks, gear stock, pinion shafts, ratchets and pawls.
