Drive Configuration




   Gearing Configuration       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Straight Tooth
 
     Straight tooth gears contain teeth that run parallel to the axis of the gear. Load movement or transfer is manual or walk-behind.
 
   Helical Tooth
 
     Helical tooth gears provide continuous engagement along the tooth length and are often quieter and more efficient than straight tooth gears.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   AGMA Quality Rating      The American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) publishes quality-level standards for gears based on pitch variation, profile error, and tooth alignment accuracy. Quality levels are defined in the AGMA 2000-A88 Gear Classification and Inspection Hand Book. In general, higher quality levels indicate higher quality gears. AGMA 8 and 9 describe lapped gear teeth. AGMA 11 and higher describe hardened and ground teeth. Typically, AGMA quality requirements involve application consultation with suppliers.
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   AGMA 8
 
     Devices have an AGMA 8 quality rating.
 
   AGMA 9
 
     Devices have an AGMA 9 quality rating.
 
   AGMA 10
 
     Devices have an AGMA 10 quality rating.
 
   AGMA 11
 
     Devices have an AGMA 11 quality rating.
 
   AGMA 12
 
     Devices have an AGMA 12 quality rating. 
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted AGMA quality rating.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
System Parameters




   Axis Drive Force
 
     Axis drive force is the maximum drive force for which drives are rated. The rating represents the torque of the motor transmitted through the pinion to the rack.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Axis Weight Rating
 
     Axis weight rating is the rated weight for the driven axis.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Preload       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Split Pinion
 
     Split pinions contain a torsion spring or other anti-backlash mechanism that enable the pinion to load both sides of the rack simultaneously. 
 
   Mechanical Preload
 
     Mechanical preloading consists of a drive pinion and a second preload pinion and gearbox. To maintain preloading and eliminate backlash, the preload assembly applies an opposing force to the drive assembly.
 
   Electrical Preload
 
     Electrical preloading consists of a drive pinion and motor, as well as a second pinion/motor assembly that applies an opposing or braking force. The opposing motor can take over during deceleration, smoothing carriage stops and reversals.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted or specialized preloading system.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Features




   Integral Rack and Rail
 
     Rack teeth are machined or ground directly onto the moving element to increase power transmission efficiency.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Ground Teeth
 
     The gearing (rack and pinion) features hardened and ground teeth for a precise fit and smoother operation.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
