Our metric gear racks, constructed from C1045 steel meeting UNI-EN10083-1 specifications, offer nine size modules (1- 8). Designed for continuous mounting, they feature a high precision tolerance of 0/-20μm on a single pitch and 0/-30μmm on a 500mm length sum of pitches. With teeth set at the optimal 20° pressure angle, meeting DIN 3962/63/67 quality grade, these Gear Racks ensure efficient operation. Available directly from stock, lengths range from 500mm up to 3000mm.
Metric gear racks serve to convert rotational motion into linear movement, often paired with a pinion in a setup known as rack and pinion. For optimal performance and longevity, using gear oil is advisable when operating gears and gear racks. In addition to gear racks, we offer a diverse selection of metric spur gears and a comprehensive range of power transmission products.
