Helical Gear Rack

A helical gear rack is different from a spur gear rack. The teeth of the helical gear rack are twisted along a helical path in the axial direction. The tooth strength in the axial direction is improved because of the elongated helical wrap-around tooth base support, and the contact ratio is significantly increased because of the axial tooth overlap. So helical gear racks have greater load-carrying capacity.

Rack Types

Rack and pinion gears are available in two variations:

  • Straight teeth have the tooth axis parallel to the axis of rotation. Straight teeth that run parallel to the axis of the gear.
  • Helical teeth gears provide continuous engagement along the tooth length, are often quieter and more efficient than straight tooth gears, and offer higher loading for the same rack width. Helical tooth gears resemble spur gears in the rotation plane but include teeth twisted along a helical path in the axial direction.

Applications of Helical Gear Rack

Helical gear rack and pinion drives are perfect for a wide range of applications, including axis drives requiring precise positioning & repeatability, traveling gantries & columns, pick & place robots, CNC routers, and material handling systems. These drives can also easily handle heavy load capacities and duty cycles. Industries included Material Handling, Automation, Automotive, Aerospace, Machine Tool, and Robotics.

Helical Gear Rack Applications

Helical Gear Rack Assembly Steps

To assemble connected racks more smoothly, 2 ends of a standard rack would add half a tooth which is convenient for the next half tooth of the next rack to be connected to a complete tooth. The following drawing shows how 2 racks connect, and the tooth gauge can control pitch position accurately.

Regarding the connection of helical racks, they can be connected accurately by opposite tooth gauges.

1. When connecting racks, we recommend first locking bores on the sides of the rack and then locking bores by the foundation sequence. With assembling the tooth gauge, the pitch position of racks can be assembled accurately and completely.

2. Last, lock rack the position pins on 2 srack; the assembly is completed.
