 RACK and PINION
MAIN FEARTURES :

 High Precision
 High Loading
 High Speed
 Low Noise
 Long Life-Time
 Quick Delivery

APEX is the ONLY ONE manufacturer worldwide who produces rack strictly according to
specifications regarding :
- Geometrical Tolerance of all Dimensions
- Defined Straightness, Parallelism and Perpendicularity
- Helical Angle and Pressure Angle with Tolerance
- Defined Surface Roughness of Teeth
- Defined Hardness and Thickness of the Hardened Layer on the Teeth

High Precision Rack and Pinion

 High Precision Rack – Requirement & Reason

Good Straightness, Less Torsion

 Influence the accuracy of pressure angle, helical angle and pitch error, hence Influence the
gear coupling with pinion.
 To avoid re-straightening work after long-term stock due to slow release of internal tension.

Accurate Pressure Angle α and Helical Angle β

 Optimizing gear-coupling with pinion
 Optimizing transmission of torque or feed force
 For high speed, low noise, less wearing, longer life-time

Rigidity / Material Hardness

 No deformation during gear coupling with Pinion
 High strength of rack / High strength of teeth
 Transmission of high torque or high feed force
 High speed, less wearing, long life-time

High Precision Rack and Pinion

 High Precision Rack – Requirement & Reason

High Surface Hardness

 High strength of rack / High strength of teeth
Qualified induction hardening Bad induction hardening
 Transmission of high torque or high feed force and teeth grinding and or bad teeth grinding
 High wearing resistance

Symmetry of Hardened-Layer on teeth profiles

 Preserve accuracy and long life-time in both moving
directions on the rack

Low Remaining Magnet

 Prevent adhesion of particles between the rack and pinion
which leads to pitting and damage the teeth profile Particle Particle
 Smooth running
 Preserve accuracy and long life-time
Magnet

APEX rack has been degaussed until

10 ± 3 Gauss!

 High Precision Rack – Declaration of Tolerance

APEX declares clearly all the tolerances of rack dimension and geometry,
beginning from the design through out the manufacturing.

 High Precision Rack – Induction Hardening for Rack

In the cross-section, the effective thickness can be guaranteed over 80% in

the middle of the teeth width.

 High Precision Pinion – Pinion with Curvic Plate

Advantages of Curvic Coupling:

 All-Teeth-Coupling between pinion and gearbox

 Zero backlash
 Automatic concentricity
 High torque transmission

 The Round-Out of the gearboxpinion-set can be

adjusted by switching the curvic positions.
 Quick assembly and disassembly or replacement
 More suitable pinion teeth-no. can be chosen,
without interference with screwing.
