Gear racks are an economic drive element, especially with long strokes of more than 2 m.
Gear racks are preferred also with dirty environments and/or big axial forces. The stiffness is the same over the whole length. SCHNEEBERGER offers any cross-section up to module 20 with metric or module pitch, with helical or straight gears. The maximum single piece length is 3000 mm, multi-piece butt jointed rails for longer lengths are warranted. The teeth can be milled or ground, according to your wish. Interesting are the various hardening processes, depending on the applying load. Weak, inductive hardened or case hardened gear racks are available. The best gear quality is Q4 (individual adjacent pitch error fp=0,003 mm, cumulative pitch error Fp=0,015/1000 mm).

We sell competence and know-how, not standard products!

Standard gear racks straight tooth system
Straight-toothed racks are available in typical industrial dimensions from module 2 to module 12. The respective load case determines different materials, hardness states and accuracies.

Industries:

• Stainless steel industry
• food industry
• medical
• packaging

Helical-toothed standard gear racks
Helical racks are available in typical industrial dimensions from module 2 to module 12. The particular load case determines different materials, hardness conditions and accuracies.

Industries:

• Stainless steel industry
• food industry
• medical
• packaging

Customized gear racks
Custom solutions in different materials and configurations according to customer requirements
You need a gear rack but standardised dimensions do not fit your system? No problem. You can have any gear racks up to module 20. The maximum one-piece length is 3000 mm. The customer can choose from different materials and therefore configure the gear rack just as required.
