Rack And Pinion Linear Actuator

High speed high force 12vdc rack and pinion electric linear actuators from knudtson.

Rack and pinion linear actuator.

Rack and pinion combinations are often used as part of a simple linear actuator where the rotation of a shaft powered by hand or by a motor is converted to linear motion. 3 rack speeds available. Steel or aluminum rack. The ut series has been replaced by the mt series above except for when alternative mounting is required.

These dc actuators feature a clean design and simple operation. We can accessorize them to accomplish virtually any control requirement. The gearbox helps to optimize the speed of the servo motor and the inertia match of the system. Pneumatic rack and pinion actuators convert the energy of compressed air by means of a pneumatic cylinder to an oscillating rotary motion.

This force thus torque may still be substantial and so it is common. The on board ac speed control motor allows for reasonable speed control. The clean dry and processed gas required by this actuator is provided via a central compressed air station which usually supports a range of pneumatic devices in a process system. In either drive mode rotational to linear or linear to rotational our rack and pinion linear actuators deliver superior performance and minimal backlash as little as 2 backlash.

With a bandwidth of 0 2 to over 110 nm torque the drrd is thus also suitable for applications with the highest mass moment of inertia. Triac pneumatic rack and pinion actuators are designed and manufactured to provide the highest cycle life on the market. What is a rack pinion actuator. All rpa series rack and pinion linear actuators consist of a solid one piece aluminium housing that contains a rack gear and a pinion gear.

The rack and pinion system l series dsc series equipped is a linear actuator in which a rack and pinion mechanism with a motor have been combined. Rack and pinion is a generic term for a pair of gears which convert linear motion into rotational motion. Rack and pinion systems used in linear actuators consist of a rack also referred to as the linear gear a pinion or circular gear and a gearbox. The ut series rack pinion actuators are the original max air innovation featuring a removable flange for easy valve integration flexible customization and reliable operation.

The rack carries the full load of the actuator directly and so the driving pinion is usually small so that the gear ratio reduces the torque required. Long strokes to 67 inches available. They are available with various mounting dimension configurations and span eleven models for appropriate torque compatibility.
