High-Precision Rack Gears for Linear Motion Systems

What Are Rack Gears?

Rack gears, or gear racks, are straight bars with gear teeth that mesh with a pinion gear to convert rotary motion into linear motion.

They are critical in machine tools, robotics, and automation where accurate positioning is essential.

Key Advantages of Rack Gears

• Rotary-to-Linear Conversion: Enables precise linear motion.
• High Load Capacity: Handles heavy forces with proper design.
• Customizable Lengths: Available in modular or extended sizes.
• Precision Motion: Perfect for CNC, robotics, and automation.
• Durability: Hardened gear teeth ensure long service life.

(Comparison: Unlike spur gears that only rotate, rack gears convert rotary power into controlled linear movement.)
