Rack and Pinion ETK/ENK Series Actuators
An electric rack and pinion actuator is a mechanism used for converting rotary motion into linear motion. It typically consists of a rack (a straight bar with teeth along its length) and a pinion gear (a small gear that meshes with the teeth of the rack). When the pinion gear rotates, it moves the rack linearly along its axis.
The electric aspect refers to the use of an electric motor to drive the pinion gear. By controlling the rotation of the motor, you can precisely control the linear movement of the rack.
Features
- Standard stroke upto 5700 mm. Extended stroke can be achieved by connecting rack gear, guideway and aluminium extrusion
- Direct mount onto rack gear without pulley and belt. Reducing power lost.
- Smooth and precise movement due to rack and pinion mechanism. Ensured repeatability of +/- 0.08 mm.
- High speed and acceleration up to 2010 mm/s.
- Maximum payload up to 185 Kg.
- ENK series for more flexible designed for lower height applications.
