Features and Structure of Rack-and-Pinion System

The rack-and-pinion system is an electric actuator that combines a rack and pinion mechanism with a motor.

"Compact," "High Strength" Linear Motion Mechanism Can be Easily Constructed

The rack-and-pinion system can easily convert the rotation of the motor into linear motion.
Although the linear motion mechanism part is compact in design, it can transport a large load due to its high strength processing.

Movement of Rack-and-Pinion system

The gear (deceleration part) receives the motor of the pinion shaft, and further transmits it from the pinion gear to the rack to convert it into linear motion.

Reduces Startup Time From Design

The rack-and-pinion system helps reduce the man-hours required for design and assembly.

Space Saving

By fixing the screw holes on both ends of the rack, the main unit can be self-propelled.
This function is effective for equipment that cannot provide motor space.

Effective Use of Space is Possible

Large Loads Can be Transported by Vertical Operation

The rack-and-pinion system can transport the transportable mass if it is mounted without consideration of the moment of inertia.
