APPLICATION NOTES

Where this component fits

Rack and pinion sets convert rotation into linear travel for positioning tables, gates and automation axes. Length of rack, module, tooth quality, mounting holes and the mating pinion define the package. Include stroke length, load, acceleration and environmental conditions. Matching the pinion early keeps backlash and stiffness predictable across the travel.
