R&P Drive AntiBacklash

R&P Drive AntiBacklashAs the machines we are building increase in size we faced the problem that ballscrews of lengths over 1 meter will give trouble in the long run. Inbalance and vibrations are quite common. Using rack and pinion drives is the solution. The only problem is the backlash. We have developed a module that takes out the backlash between the rack and the gear...

Rack and Pinion Systems

Rack and Pinion SystemsWhen making machines that have large ranges, more than a meter per axis using spindles becomes tricky. The need to be very thick to stop them from bending under their own weight. In those cases it is often best to use a rack and pinion system. We offer 2 types of racks. Standard there are no mounting holes. We can offer the racks also with mounting holes.

Pinions Module 2,0

Pinions Module 2,0Module 2,0 gears are used in combination with the module 2 racks we sell. Most often a gearbox is needed in the system. Even with a small gear of 15 teeth the total distance travelled in one rotation is already 94.2mm. If a steppermotor or servo was directly attached this would result in a very fast system. Assuming a motor runs 1000 RPM, that would mean a feedrate of 94200mm/min...
