Gear racks: Precise movement made to measure

Racks are an essential part of precision linear motion systems. These versatile components offer decisive advantages and can be adapted as standard or customized to meet the requirements of your application.

1. Standard and customized: Our racks are available in both standardized and customized versions. This allows you to find the perfect solution for your specific requirements. Customized racks can be adapted in terms of dimensions, materials and mounting options.
2. Straight-toothed and helical-toothed: Depending on the requirements of your application, we offer both straight-toothed and helical-toothed racks. Straight toothing is the simplest and therefore most cost-effective type of toothing. It allows the transmission of high torques and speeds. Higher circumferential speeds and torques can be realized with helical toothed racks. Helical toothed racks allow smoother running and lower noise levels than straight-toothed racks.
3. Milled and ground: Our racks can be either milled or ground, depending on the precision requirements of your application. Ground racks offer an exceptional surface finish and maximum precision.
4. Soft, hardened and nitrided: Our racks are available in a variety of finishes, including soft, hardened and nitrided variants. The choice of the right material and surface treatment depends on the specific requirements of your application.
5. Versatile applications: Gear racks are used in numerous applications, including CNC machines, printing machines, packaging machines, robotics and many others. Their precision and reliability make them an indispensable component in modern manufacturing and automation systems.

Precision ball screws: The power of precision in motion

Precision ball screws are a key component for converting rotary motion into precise linear motion. They offer outstanding advantages such as high positioning accuracy and power transmission.

1. Driven screw or nut: Our precision ball screws can be configured with either a driven screw or nut, depending on the requirements of your application. The most common variant when using ball screws is the screw driven directly by a servo motor or via a toothed belt. The nut performs the desired feed movement on the rotating spindle. Performance characteristics such as achievable service life, linear speed, rigidity, dynamics and positioning accuracy depend on the dimensioning, length of the measuring spindle and the end bearings. A decisive advantage of the driven nut is that the application is not limited by the critical bending speed of the spindle. The weak end bearings of the spindle, which limit the service life due to the diameter, are also no longer required.
   This means that a high tensile force can be exerted on the spindle for better rigidity and temperature compensation.
2. High precision: Precision ball screws offer exceptional precision and repeatability. They are capable of performing even the smallest movements with remarkable accuracy, making them ideal for applications where precision is critical.
3. Versatile applications: Precision ball screws are used in numerous applications, including machine tools, CNC machines, robotics, 3D printers, packaging machines and many others. Their high load capacity and reliability make them an indispensable component in modern manufacturing and automation systems.
4. Customized configurations: We offer customized configurations for precision ballscrews to ensure they perfectly match your application requirements. Whether special dimensions, materials or mounting options - we can supply precision ball screws that meet your exact requirements.
