Racks & Pinions Technical Information
RACK MANUFACTURE
Reliance standard precision racks are produced by a thread grinding process, which
generates teeth of helicoidal form. This provides two distinct advantages: very good pitch
accuracy and sufficient tolerance of meshing conditions (within 0.25º) to make high
precision alignment of the pinion unnecessary.
This feature will be appreciated from the diagram below. Slight misalignment of the
straight-tooth pinion, in terms of deviation from a true right-angle between the axis and
rack in either plane, results merely in a change of position of the contact points across
the face.
Mesh geometry
Points of contact.
Standard pressure angle is 20º
25º pressure angle available on
request.
RACK STANDARDS AND TOLERANCES
Reliance precision racks are offered in four basic grades of accuracy through most of
the range, please see the individual product pages for details. Grade 4b has been
introduced to offer a lower cost grade 4 where a single rack is to be used in a non-
butting application.
The tooth form is generally in accordance with BS 4582 part 1. fig 1. for metric racks.

Technical Information Racks & Pinions
ENGINEERING DATA
1. Linear Speed
Linear speeds of up to 10 metres/second can be achieved with correctly installed rack
and pinion systems. When specifying a system, care needs to be taken to ensure that
the transducer count rates are not exceeded. With grease lubrication, care should be
taken to ensure that the lubrication is not thrown off the pinion
2. Load Capacity
The following analysis is intended to give a guide to the load capacity of a rack system.
To simplify the calculation a number of assumptions have to be made. In many
applications this will give a conservative estimate of the gear capacity, therefore in
critical applications an exact analysis must be completed. Please consult the relevant
gear standards or Technical Sales.
The basic load capacity (Fb) of a rack and pinion is defined as the maximum linear force
at which they can operate indefinitely.
Fb has two values: one calculated from tooth strength, (Fbs) and one for tooth flank wear
(Fbw). The useful or transmitted load capacity, Ft, is usually less than Fb due to transient
or dynamic loads generated within the mechanism.
For tooth root strength Fts = Fbs/Ka Ka&Ca = application factors

For tooth flank pitting (wear) Ftw = Fbw/Ca
Both calculations should be made and the lower value used.

The application factors Ka and Ca make allowance for any externally applied loads in
excess of the nominal linear force Fb. These are most accurately determined by direct
measurement application factors, consideration should be given to the fact that many
prime movers develop momentary peak torques appreciably greater than those
determined by the nominal ratings of either the prime mover or the driven equipment.
There are many possible sources of overload which should be considered, including
system vibrations, acceleration torques, overspeeds, variations in system operation and
changes in process load conditions. Impact loads due to reversing across backlash can
be significant in servo systems.
As a general guide application factors for a motor gear system range from 1.0 for
uniform loads up to 1.75 where heavy shock loads are anticipated.

The previous graph has been calculated in accordance with AGMA 2001-B88 for a life of
at least 108 load cycles, and a rack hardness exceeding 50HRc and pinion material 17-
4PH. For alternative pitches and materials the graph values need to be modified as
shown in the table below.

Fbw = 175 x 0.10 =17.5N

Fbs = 170 x 0.23 = 39.1N
3. Bearing Capacity
When linear bearings are used with the hardened round bar racks the capacity of the
support bearings needs to be considered. Where possible the bearings should be
positioned with all the ball rows running on the rack shaft. However, it is important that
the balls do not run on the edges of the teeth. If necessary the 5 and 6 row bearings can
be used with 1 row above the teeth. In this scenario, the manufacturer’s ratings apply
with a modification for the direction of the load application. The factors given in the
following charts should be substituted for the bearing manufacturer’s load reduction.

Closed bearing 5 rows of balls Closed bearing 6 rows of balls
4. Lubrication
Lubrication is not required when using PEEK™ polymer pinions. For other combinations
unlubricated systems are not recommended. Measurement applications should use a
very thin coat of light oil, in many machine tool applications stray cutting oil is sufficient.
Grease lubrication is recommended for higher loads, but care should be taken to ensure
the lubrication is not thrown off the pinion at speed.
INSTALLATION
The installation techniques differ according to the type of rack. All racks should be
mounted with teeth pointing downwards wherever possible so that dust etc cannot settle
in them.
1. Soft Round and Tubular Rack

Plastic moulded bearings are recommended for use with soft round and tubular rack,
these can be found in the Bearings and Spacers section of the Reliance catalogue.
Round racks are not recommended for multi section use.
2. Hardened Round Rack

Bearings for the round bar rack should be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions. It is important that the balls do not run on the edge of the teeth. Suitable
bearings can be found in the Linear Bearings section of the Reliance catalogue. Round
racks are not recommended for multi section use.
3. Rectangular Rack
Reliance rectangular section rack is manufactured to enable butting to form infinite
lengths. Socket head cap screws, plain washers and a thread locking adhesive are
preferred for mounting. Dowels are not recommended. The pitch line of the rack must be
constrained to be straight to obtain maximum accuracy. To avoid distortion, racks should
be screwed to a machined flat surface.

Machining requirements for rack location
1. Pinion clearance
2. Clearance required if:
a) anti-backlash pinions are used
b) full face of rack is to be used
3. Abutment
4. Mounting face
To align racks, two adjustments need to be made, pitch line alignment and pitch
adjustment. The pitch line straightness is not critical (see drawing below) but steps at the
joints should be avoided as they can lead to excessive noise and wear.
1. Pitch line alignment

2. Pitch adjustment and error
compensation
Pitch Line Alignment

There are three methods of setting the pitch line at a joint.These are:
i) Setting the base of the racks against an abutment perpendicular to the mounting face.
The misalignment is then governed by the rack pitch line to base tolerance.
ii) Using the tops of the rack teeth as a reference. These are parallel to the pitch line
within 0.008mm. Use a short straight edge (eg. slip block) as shown below.
iii) The best measurement of the pitch line is with the pinion installed on a Flexplate. A
dial indicator fitted as shown gives a direct reading of the pitch line straightness.
Pitch line alignment using slip block Dial indicator carried with Flexplate
The Flexplate spring loads the pinion into mesh on both flanks of the teeth, ensuring
complete backlash elimination. For more information on the Flexplate assembly please
refer to the Rack Systems section of the Reliance catalogue.

Pitch Adjustment and Error Correction
Pitch accuracy can be obtained by one of three methods depending upon accuracy
required.
GRADE 1 (and for the initial setting of all grades)

For pitch accuracy across the joint of ±0.020mm the Rack Setting Piece is the simplest
method.
GRADE 2, 3 or 4
After initial setting and with the measuring system functioning, length bars may be used
as references. Checks made against these allow adjustment to be made within the
system resolution.
GRADE 3, 4 or 5
After initial setting and with the measuring system functioning, comparison should be
made with a laser measuring system. This allows pitch adjustment and machine error
compensation within the system resolution over the full travel of the axis.
RACK APPLICATIONS
Reliance precision rack is manufactured in both round and rectangular section, and can
be used for both measurement and actuation. In general the smaller pitches (1mm) are
ideal for measurement, as the smaller pinion diameter gives higher linear resolutions.
The larger pitches (2mm and 2.5mm) allow a higher load capacity.
For most applications the rack can be used for both the feedback and the actuation. In
very precise applications we recommend that an unused section of the actuation rack is
used for feedback. Alternatively a separate rack can be used.
All Reliance racks are calibrated to measure correct at 20ºC using a temperature
compensated laser. Calibration graphs can be supplied if required.
RACK ACTUATOR
The rack actuator is supplied pre-assembled and should not be dismantled. The rack
