High-Speed Rack & Roller Pinion for Endless Travel

Rack and Roller Pinion are excellent alternatives to linear motors, ball screws, and helical or involute rack and pinions. These systems specialize in efficiently converting rotary to linear motion without the limitation of conventional gears, such as low loading capacity and accuracy. They can operate without lubrication and are ideal for high-speed or long-travel applications with unlimited angles.

CRP Series | Zero Backlash, High Speed, Lubrication Free

The CRP Series is distinctive from the conventional rack and pinion systems because of our proprietary tooth profile. The uniquely modified cycloidal shape creates a rolling motion, which maximizes the tooth contact ratio and lowers the tooth surface pressure and contact stress. Slippage and backlash are minimized, providing high efficiency and productivity. Noise is also controlled even at high speeds (standard 6 m/s, maximum 10 m/s). Minimum or no lubrication is required, ensuring clean installation and operation. The pinion is completely sealed (IP54-IP67) with an internal, self-lubricating structure that has support bearings at both ends. There is no limit to stroke lengths and designs; we can provide customized solutions for both linear and rotary motion challenges with these key features. Our Clean Rack and Pinion Series enables quiet and smooth operation of gears with minimum wear.

LE Series | Gearbox-Integrated Pinion

 

The LE Series is an innovative, all-in-one solution that integrates the gearhead within the pinion, resulting in a compact, zero-backlash and low-noise unit. Its unique rear mounting structure eliminates the need for additional output shafts, shrinkable connectors, reduction gears or mounting structures, as is the case with front mounting. All models are designed to IP65 standards and come with lifetime lubrication. Incorporating our patented tooth profile, the LE series is capable of high accuracy, increased load capacity and faster acceleration.

High Precision Gearbox Structure

LPR’s rotary transmission systems use a unique planocentric structure and mechanism to provide high performance with advanced features. The patented cycloidal tooth profile maximizes the tooth contact ratio and increases shock load capabilities while keeping backlash at less than 1 arc-min. Using a two-stage reduction design, they overcome the vibration and inertia found in traditional gearboxes. The gearbox is a completely sealed unit equipped with multiple bearing supports and lifetime lubrication.

Iron | Aluminum | Steel Gantry Loader Solutions

Rack and pinion gantry loaders are commonly used to carry materials to castings machines. With a required payload usually over 100 kg, standard gantry systems do not allow such operations, hence a rack and pinion system has to be applied. A fully automated gantry system for more than 20 casting sets can be installed at your plant.
