Rack And Pinion Linear Actuator

Rack and pinion is a generic term for a pair of gears which convert linear motion into rotational motion.

Rack and pinion linear actuator. The clean dry and processed gas required by this actuator is provided via a central compressed air station which usually supports a range of pneumatic devices in a process system. Rh rack and pinion hydraulic actuators are engineered to operate ball butterfly plug and other quarter turn valves for either on off or modulating service. Spring return and double acting versions shown. Triac pneumatic rack and pinion actuators are designed and manufactured to provide the highest cycle life on the market.

Rack and pinion combinations are often used as part of a simple linear actuator where the rotation of a shaft powered by hand or by a motor is converted to linear motion. Rack and pinion actuators often offer the most economical solution for quarter turn valves that have a fairly constant torque requirement throughout the stroke. Spring return and double acting versions shown. See how rack n pinion pneumatic valve actuators work.

The rack and pinion system l series dsc series equipped is a linear actuator in which a rack and pinion mechanism with a motor have been combined. The on board ac speed control motor allows for reasonable speed control. 3 rack speeds available. The rack and pinion driven modular linear actuator come with an internal linear ball bearings that can be adjusted free of play is driven along the guide rods by a high precision rack.

The ut series has been replaced by the mt series above except for when alternative mounting is required. The rack carries the full load of the actuator directly and so the driving pinion is usually small so that the gear ratio reduces the torque required. They are available with various mounting dimension configurations and span eleven models for appropriate torque compatibility. Rack and pinion systems used in linear actuators consist of a rack also referred to as the linear gear a pinion or circular gear and a gearbox.

We can accessorize them to accomplish virtually any control requirement. See how rack n pinion pneumatic valve actuators work. Rack and pinion actuators are mechanical devices used to automatically open and close valves or dampers usually for industrial applications. Pneumatic rack and pinion actuators convert the energy of compressed air by means of a pneumatic cylinder to an oscillating rotary motion.

The ut series rack pinion actuators are the original max air innovation featuring a removable flange for easy valve integration flexible customization and reliable operation.
