Material AISI 1045 (C45) with tensile strength = 650 N/mm 2 (95,000 PSI). Teeth induction
hardened to 50-55 Rc; ground on all sides after hardening. (Alternate material modules 2-4
AISI 5115 (16MnCr5) hardened to 60 Rc). Only teeth are hardened allowing subsequent
drilling and pinning of rack. Rack ends are machined for continuous mounting.
Fp is the max cumulative pitch error for the corresponding rack length.
Dimensions are in mm and are subject to change - consult factory.

RACK & PINION TORQUE RATINGS


Module 4.0 (39 mm Face Width)

The values shown in the tables below are given for a linear
speed of 1.5 m/s, shock free operation, good lubrication
(automatic electric lubricator, or manual lubrication once/
day), and rigid cantilevered pinion support. Calculations
are based on root stress bending fatigue and hertzian

stress pitting fatigue and provide a life of 1x106 cycles for


each tooth of the rack and 1x107 cycles for each tooth on
the pinion. In all cases pinions are hardened & ground AISI
5115 (16MnCr5) with minimum quality of DIN 7e25
(~AGMA10).

Operating Principle
The units operation is based on an
electro-chemical reaction. When
one or a combination of selector
switches are turned on, the electrochemical reaction begins, where
electrical energy is converted into
nitrogen gas. A hermetically sealed

Description

bellows type chamber captures the


gas created by the reaction. The
resultant pressure, applied against
a piston, causes the lubricant to be
delivered to the lubrication point
under constant pressure. The
electrical current strength determines
the amount of gas produced, and is

32

directly related to the dispensing


rate and the length of time the unit
can operate. The quantity of grease
supplied by the unit is adjustable,
and can be matched to the
application requirements, by setting
the selector switches.

MODULAR RACK & PINION SYSTEM

General Information
The units can be mounted in any position,
and are provided with a contact cable for
synchronization with machine operation. The
lubricant dispensing rate can be adjusted during
operation by simply adjusting the selector
switches. The translucent housing allows for
easy inspection of the lubricant level, and the
units have an LED that can be set to flash every
15 to 20 seconds indicating the system is in
working order. The unit is rated for temperatures
up to 130 F, and maximum pressure of 50 PSI.
This unit is designed to feed a single point and
is not intended as a multi point lubricator.
The lubricator is supplied with a cover to
protect against dirt, and moisture, and in all
cases, the cover must be installed to ensure
the intrinsic safety rating of the unit. The
service life of the battery is 1 year.
Lubrication Rate
When using an electronic lubricator, and
felt pinion to lubricate a rack and pinion
drive the most favorable lubrication rate
can be determined from the graph below.
Starting Procedure
Before running the rack and pinion drive,

MODULAR RACK & PINION SYSTEM

apply a film of lubricant to the entire length


of rack and the pinion.
On first installation, using a hand grease
gun and the same type of lubricant, fill all
lubrication lines and fittings. We
recommend that you soak the felt pinion in
the identical lubricant prior to installation.
Prestart the unit by turning all switches
to the ON position for 8 hours.
Prestarting eliminates the time delay for
dispensing lubricant to the application.
Should you decide not to prestart the unit
there will be a time delay before pressure
builds in the unit and lubricant is dispensed.
The time delay varies from 18 hours at the
1M setting, to 240 hours at the 12M setting.
After the allotted prestart period, turn all
switches to the OFF position.

RACK & PINION INSTALLATION GUIDELINES


The mounting and alignment of rack & pinion drives is critical to the performance and
lifetime of the axis. Racks can be mounted in any position. In environments where debris
is present (chips, sawdust, etc.) the rack should be mounted with the teeth facing down
or covered to minimize contamination. It is recommended that a small right angle
ledge be provided on the mounting surface to locate the rack on two faces. This makes
it easier to accurately mount several pieces of rack in succession. We recommend using
the predrilled holes in the rack as a guide for the tapped holes in the mounting surface

The following instructions are meant


to be general guidelines on how to
achieve an accurate mounting of
a rack & pinion drive:
1. Mount and align the linear slides
(rails) to the axis base.
2. Measure the location of the rail in
relation to the rack mounting surface with a dial indicator (see A.).
A shoulder should be provided on
the mounting surface to locate the
back of the rack (see B.).
The rack mounting surface tolerance
will affect the contact pattern of the
drive; the rack shoulder tolerance
will affect the backlash of the drive.
The more accurate these surfaces
are, the better the axis will perform.

3. Attach the first rack segment to the


rack mounting surface. Measure the
location of the rail in relation to the
pitchline of the rack segment with
a dial indicator (see diagram C.).
To locate the pitchline of the rack,
a pin (see table for size) is placed
in-between the rack teeth and an
over-pin tolerance is measured:
Rack Module
Module 2.0

Module 4.0

If the tolerances are found to be


high, the rack should be shimmed
accordingly and the rack pitchline
parallelism should be checked again
(step #3).

The following instructions are meant


to be general guidelines on how to
achieve an accurate mounting of
a rack & pinion drive:
1. Mount and align the linear slides
(rails) to the axis base.
2. Measure the location of the rail in
relation to the rack mounting surface with a dial indicator (see A.).
A shoulder should be provided on
the mounting surface to locate the
back of the rack (see B.).
The rack mounting surface tolerance
will affect the contact pattern of the
drive; the rack shoulder tolerance
will affect the backlash of the drive.
The more accurate these surfaces
are, the better the axis will perform.

3. Attach the first rack segment to the


rack mounting surface. Measure the
location of the rail in relation to the
pitchline of the rack segment with
a dial indicator (see diagram C.).
To locate the pitchline of the rack,
a pin (see table for size) is placed
in-between the rack teeth and an
over-pin tolerance is measured:

4. Attach the next rack segment to the


rack mounting surface. A companion
rack should be used to properly
space the teeth in-between rack
segments.
Again measure the location from the
rail in relation to the rack segment
(as in step #3). Continue mounting the
rack segments for the entire travel
length using the same procedure.

5. Mount the pinion/gearbox to the rail


carriage. Make sure the pinion
engages the total face width of the
rack. Check the alignment of the
rack & pinion by marking or bluing
the pinion teeth with a high spot
paste (Dykem) and slowly running
the axis in both directions. This will
show the tooth contact pattern
between the rack & pinion; a
contact pattern across the majority
of the tooth flank on both the rack
and pinion is desired. If the contact
pattern is shifted to one side of
the tooth flanks, some form of
misalignment is present.

6. Measure the linear backlash between


the rack & pinion along the entire
axis travel length. A general guide for
minimum backlash is shown below:
Rack Quality
Induction Hardened
Quenched & Tempered
Hardened & Ground

Minimum Backlash
0.20 mm (0.008)
0.10 mm (0.004)
0.05 mm (0.002)

7. Run the pinion/gearbox through the


entire rack travel length to check
for any problems, such as binding
or excessive noise. If either is
found, return to step #3.
8. Drill dowel pin holes into the rack
mounting surface using the pilot
holes in racks. Place dowel pins
in the holes (two for each rack
segment).
