ZTRS Rack and Pinion Drives

The screwed-down supporting bearing covers of the ZTRS Rack and Pinion Drives allow full exploitation of the transmission torque of a rack and pinion drive – and thus also the optimization of the volume performance and stiffness. As a result, this rack and pinion drive is ideally suited for use in feed axes of machine tools.

• Can be attached to gear units of the PH, PHQ and PHV series
• Helical gearing
• Pinion gearing quality 5
• Accuracy as high as 7µm with reduced backlash in certain gearboxes
• Concentricity – ≤25 standard, ≤10 μm as an option
• Wide Force Range to fit your needs – Feed force 13-124 kN or 2,922-27,875 lbs

When starting any new automation project, In-Position Technologies engineers start by reviewing the key requirements to determine all necessary components needed in an application. This includes providing recommendations for any appropriate controllers, power supplies, sensors, encoders, bearings, couplings, and any other components needed to fit the application. Our engineers perform all necessary engineering assessments to make sure all components perform properly together, are within customer specifications, and do not come with unnecessary costs.

This includes:

• Payload, reach, speed, cycle time, and repeatability requirement
• Specifying the appropriate feedback device (sensors, vision system, torque sensor)
• Verifying mounting compatibility, form factor checks, etc.
• Ensuring compatibility with the current system
• Ensuring all necessary auxiliary equipment are also specified

When ordering ZTRS Rack and Pinion Drives as a part of a full system, IP Tech engineers review the solution to ensure:

• All parts and fittings necessary for a complete working solution are included
• All components have been checked and verified to work together as a system
• The selected components will perform as required by the project specifications
