ATLANTA Drive Systems offers a complete range of Rack & Pinion Drive Systems, which consist of a servo reducer with a mounted pinion on the output and the driven gear rack. By selecting the complete drive system all at once, a system can be optimized for the servo motor while achieving the desired accuracy and motion at the rack & pinion.

These systems are available in five levels of precision to meet any axis drive requirements. They utilize our wide range of standard Rack & Pinions (quality levels from DIN 4 to DIN 10) and Servo Reducers, which are available in-line (motor is in-line with pinion) and right-angle (motor is at a right-angle to pinion) versions to fit into most designs.

These drive systems are perfect for a wide range of applications, including axis drives requiring precise positioning & repeatability, traveling gantries & columns, pick & place robots, CNC routers and material handling systems. Heavy load capacities and duty cycles can also be easily handled with this drives. Industries served include Material Handling, Automation, Automotive, Aerospace, Machine Tool and Robotics.

NEW "Torque Supporter" Rack & Pinion Drive Systems, with an integral output housing and outboard bearing to provide a rigid support to the output pinion, increasing the linear stiffness of the system by 300%, as well as increasing the power density of the system.

Also, the unique design of the pinion allows for smaller pitch diameters, which decreases the torque on the reducer. Because of these design enhancements, a smaller reducer can typically be used.

Systems Overview:

There are five levels of system precision, each of which is well suited for certain types of applications (click on level for more information):

System Precision Level:	Rack Type:	Rack Quality Level:	Rack Pitch Error:	Rack & Pinion Minimum Backlash: *	Load Capacity:
Ultra-High	Hardened & Ground	DIN 4 to 6 (~AGMA 12+)	< 0.012 to 0.048 mm per meter	Zero	Heavy Loads
High	Hardened & Ground	DIN 4 to 6 (~AGMA 12+)	< 0.012 to 0.048 mm per meter	0.02 mm	Heavy Loads
Medium	Quenched & Tempered	DIN 8 (~AGMA 10)	< 0.100 mm per meter	0.04 mm	Medium Loads
Medium-Soft	Soft	DIN 9 (~AGMA 9)	< 0.150 mm per meter	0.06 mm	Light Loads
Low
Low	Induction-Hardened	DIN 10 (~AGMA 8)	< 0.200 mm per meter	0.08 mm	Heavy Loads

* The rack and pinion backlash depends on the alignment of the rack to the linear guides.

Other Products Available:

Gear Racks, consisting of both helical & straight (spur) tooth versions, in an assortment of sizes, materials and quality levels, to meet almost any axis drive requirements.

Pinion Gears, consisting of both helical & straight (spur) tooth versions, in an assortment of sizes, materials and quality levels, to meet almost any axis drive requirements.

Servo Reducers are available in five levels of precision to meet any application needs. Perfect for use in applications that demand high performance, precise positioning and repeatability. Angular backlash levels down to less than 1 arc-minutes are available as standard. Optional integral pinion shafts are also available to mount directly to hollow output shaft.
