ZTR Rack and Pinion Drives

The pinions with the welded screw flanges on the ZTR Rack and Pinion Drives can be easily assembled and dismantled respectively. The ZTR rack and pinion drives are ideally suited for use in feed axes of machine tools where the supporting bearing cover has an interfering contour.

• Helical gearing
• Pinion gearing quality 5
• Can be attached to gear units of the PH and PHV series.
• Accuracy as high as 4µm with reduced backlash in certain gearboxes
• Concentricity – ≤25 standard, ≤10 μm as an option
• Wide Force Range to fit your needs – Feed force 4.7-57 kN or 1,056-12,814 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 ZTR 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
