Gear Rack

Gear racks are a type of mechanical component used in power transmission systems. They are part of the supply class Gears, Pulleys, Sprockets, and Transmission Chain in the supply group Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment.

A gear rack is a straight bar with teeth along its length. These teeth mesh with the teeth of a gear, allowing for linear motion instead of rotational motion. Gear racks are commonly used in applications where linear motion needs to be converted from rotary motion, such as in machinery, robotics, and automation systems.

Gear racks are typically made from durable materials such as steel or nylon, which provide strength and wear resistance. They come in various sizes and tooth profiles to suit different applications and load requirements.

When selecting a gear rack, it is important to consider factors such as pitch (the distance between teeth), module (the size of the teeth), and length. These specifications will depend on the specific requirements of your power transmission system.

Overall, gear racks are essential components in mechanical power transmission systems, enabling the conversion of rotary motion into linear motion.
