Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our gear rack manufacturing services, capabilities, and technical specifications.
What is the difference between straight tooth and helical gear racks?
Straight tooth gear racks have teeth cut perpendicular to the rack axis, offering simple design and cost-effectiveness. Helical gear racks have angled teeth that provide smoother engagement, higher load capacity, reduced noise, and improved surface contact, making them ideal for precision applications requiring superior performance.
What materials are recommended for different applications?
Material selection depends on your specific requirements: Carbon steel (C45) for general industrial use with high strength, stainless steel (304/316) for corrosive environments, aluminum alloy (6061-T6) for lightweight applications, and engineering plastics (POM, Nylon) for noise-sensitive or food-grade applications. Our engineers can help select the optimal material for your needs.
What precision levels can you achieve in gear rack manufacturing?
We manufacture gear racks to DIN 5 through DIN 10 precision grades. Standard production achieves DIN 8 quality, while high-precision applications can reach DIN 6 or better. Precision grinding operations can achieve surface finishes of Ra 0.8μm or better, with dimensional tolerances of ±0.02mm depending on the module and length requirements.
Can you manufacture custom gear racks to specific dimensions?
Yes, we specialize in custom gear rack manufacturing. We can produce racks to your exact specifications including custom modules, lengths up to 3000mm, special cross-sections, unique mounting features, and specific material requirements. Our engineering team provides design support to optimize your custom solution for performance and manufacturability.
What is the typical lead time for gear rack orders?
Lead times vary based on complexity and quantity. Standard gear racks from stock: 1-2 weeks. Custom designs requiring new tooling: 3-4 weeks. Large volume production orders: 4-6 weeks. Prototype and small quantity orders can often be expedited. We provide detailed scheduling information with every quotation to help you plan your project timeline.
Do you provide matching pinion gears for rack and pinion systems?
Yes, we manufacture complete rack and pinion systems including precision-matched pinion gears. Our pinions are designed and manufactured to ensure optimal meshing with our gear racks, providing smooth operation, minimal backlash, and maximum system performance. We can supply both components individually or as complete matched sets.
What quality certifications and documentation do you provide?
We provide comprehensive quality documentation including material certificates, dimensional inspection reports, surface finish measurements, and hardness test results. Our facility is ISO 9001:2015 certified, with additional certifications available for automotive (IATF 16949) and aerospace (AS9100D) applications.
