Belts and rack and pinions have got several common benefits for linear motion applications. They’re both well-established drive mechanisms in linear actuators, offering high-speed travel over extremely long lengths. And both are generally used in large gantry systems for materials managing, machining, welding and assembly, specifically in the auto, machine device, and packaging industries.
Timing belts for linear actuators are usually made of polyurethane reinforced with internal metal or Kevlar cords. The most common tooth geometry for belts in linear actuators is the AT profile, which includes a big tooth width that delivers high level of resistance against shear forces. On the powered end of the actuator (where in fact the electric motor can be attached) a precision-machined toothed pulley engages with the belt, while on the non-driven end, a set pulley simply provides assistance. The non-powered, or idler, pulley is often used for tensioning the belt, even though some styles offer tensioning mechanisms on the carriage. The type of belt, tooth profile, and applied pressure push all determine the force that can be transmitted.
Rack and pinion systems found in linear actuators contain a rack (also referred to as the “linear gear”), a pinion (or “circular gear”), and a gearbox. The gearbox really helps to optimize the acceleration of the servo electric motor and the inertia match of the machine. One’s teeth of a rack and pinion drive can be directly or helical, although helical the teeth are often used due to their higher load capability and quieter procedure. For rack and pinion systems, the utmost force which can be transmitted can be largely dependant on the tooth pitch and the size of the 
pinion.
Our unique understanding extends from the coupling of linear system components – gearbox, motor, pinion and rack – to outstanding system solutions. You can expect linear systems perfectly made to meet your unique application needs when it comes to the soft running, positioning precision and feed force of linear drives.
In the study of the linear movement of the gear drive mechanism, the measuring platform of the gear rack is designed in order to gauge the linear error. using servo motor straight drives the gears on the rack. using servo engine directly drives the apparatus on the rack, and is dependant on the movement control PT point setting to understand the measurement of the Measuring range and standby control requirements etc. Along the way of the linear motion of the apparatus and rack drive mechanism, the measuring data is usually obtained by using the laser interferometer to gauge the placement of the actual movement of the gear axis. Using the least square method to resolve the linear equations of contradiction, and also to extend it to any number of times and arbitrary number of fitting features, using MATLAB development to obtain the actual data curve corresponds with design data curve, and the linear positioning precision and repeatability of equipment and rack. This technology could be extended to linear measurement and data evaluation of nearly all linear motion system. It can also be utilized as the foundation for the linear gearrack china automated compensation algorithm of linear movement control.
Consisting of both helical & directly (spur) tooth versions, in an assortment of sizes, components and quality levels, to meet almost any axis drive requirements.
These drives are ideal for an array of applications, including axis drives requiring exact positioning & repeatability, journeying gantries & columns, pick & place robots, CNC routers and material handling systems. Weighty load capacities and duty cycles may also be easily handled with these drives. Industries served include Material Managing, Automation, Automotive, Aerospace, Machine Device and Robotics.
