How do rack and pinion drives contribute to productivity?
John • Atlanta: By allowing machines to run faster, rack and pinion drives increase throughput and efficiency. The quicker a machine can process a part, the sooner it can begin working on the next one, and the one after that. Helical rack and pinion drives, which have teeth at a slight angle across the face width, can handle very high linear speeds. This can be useful on production machinery to reduce time between cycles, or the time it takes a machine to return “home.” Helical drive systems also provide smooth operation, which can produce better products.
