Flexible Gear Rack

Flexible plastic equipment racks in 0.8 Mod (32DP) pitch. These racks can offer an easy to set up rotational drive of up to approx 270 degrees for instance on camera focus bands. They also offer an economical solution where a large gear is necessary or an extended stretch (up to 2 metres) of linear motion is preferred. These racks are compatible with our 0.8 Mod and 32 DP pitch Spur Gears.
EVER-POWER share racks are created for high precision linear motion applications. We offer a large selection of racks which range from module 0.5 to 10 and lengths from 100 to 2000 mm.

Floor Helical Racks (KRHG – KRHGF – KRHGFD) : Excellent items with high precision and power, and low sound and abrasion characteristics.
Metal Helical Racks (SRH – SRHF – SRHFD) : Effective in reducing noise and vibration due to larger contact ratio of helical gears.
Molded Flexible Racks (DR) : Found in applications due to its flexibility, where metal racks do no have this attribute. Pinions and add-ons are also available.
Molded Versatile Rack Clamps (SRS) : Used to secure Molded Versatile Racks.
Molded Flexible Rack Pinions (SSDR) : Spur pinions used for molded versatile racks.

We offer as standard a wide variety of Racks in Metric and Imperial sizes. Spur Racks can be found in Steel (En8) or more to 2 metres in length. STAINLESS and Delrin (Plastic) Racks are produced with Spur and Helical tooth forms, square and circular sections up to 400mm long. Alternative materials are available on ask for. Moulded Hostaform Racks can be found to offer a cost-effective alternative where much less torque is required.
Variable stiffness can improve the capacity for human-robot interacting. Based on the system of a flexible rack and equipment, a rotational joint actuator named vsaFGR is certainly proposed to modify the joint stiffness. The versatile gear rack could be regarded as a mixture of a non-linear elastic element and a linear adjusting system, providing advantages of compactness. The joint stiffness is certainly in the range of 217-3527 N.m/rad, and it is inversely proportional to the 4th-order of the apparatus displacement, and almost independent from the joint angular deflection, providing advantages of quick stiffness regulation in a brief displacement of 20 mm. The gear displacement with respect to the flexible gear rack can be perpendicular to the joint loading push, so the power necessary for stiffness regulating is really as low as 14.4 W, providing advantages of energy saving. The high compactness, great stiffness range and low power cost of vsaFGR are proved by simulations and experiments.
Flexible plastic equipment racks in 0.8 Mod (32DP) pitch. These racks can offer an easy to install rotational drive of up to approx 270 degrees for instance on camera focus bands. They also offer an economical remedy where a sizable gear is necessary or a longer stretch (up to 2 metres) of linear motion is preferred. These racks are compatible with our 0.8 Mod and 32 DP pitch Spur Gears.
