VRS System
We offer a comprehensive lineup of rack and pinion drive systems with exceptional accuracy, system rigidity, feed forces, torque density and efficiency. Each component of the system—gearbox, rack and pinion—is optimized to meet these demands. Although we focus on highly dynamic applications, we also offer more cost-effective options for less challenging axes.
Helical and straight racks are both available, from module 1.5 to module 12, with quality levels from 5 to 10 and lengths up to 3000mm. Our core products are induction hardened and ground, but we can offer a variety of heat treatment and surface finish options. Pinions are offered for keyed shaft or ISO9409-1-A mounting interfaces.
VRS Rack and Pinion System
- High performance system with feed forces up to 12,710N
- High requirements for positioning accuracy, rigidity and smoothness
- Gearbox frame sizes 060-180mm. Tapered roller bearings for high radial and axial load capacity
- Quality 6 rack in 1m lengths. ± 0.035 total pitch error. Induction hardened and ground
- Keyed, shrink _t connection between pinion and output shaft, secured axially with bolt and washer
- Fit for applications with higher dynamics such as plastic or wood machining centers, CNC routers and pipe bending machines
