Micron accuracy

The rack is available in standard lengths from 0.5 to 2.0m. It can easily be extended without limit using mounting pieces that accurately set one rack from the next. The rack & pinion system has the advantages of high accuracy and rigidity, suiting machinery such as machine tools and robot gantries.

The rack & pinion system is a combination from two manufacturers. Vogel specialises in precision gears and supplies the gearbox to low-backlash servo levels. Minimal backlash in a range 1 to 3 arc mins is available. The rack and the pinion come from WMH Herion, a company with 60 years’ experience in power transmission racks and gears.
