Belts and rack and pinions possess a few common benefits for linear motion applications. They’re both well-founded drive mechanisms in linear actuators, offering high-speed travel over incredibly lengthy lengths. And both are frequently used in huge gantry systems for materials handling, machining, welding and assembly, specifically in the automotive, machine tool, and packaging industries.
Timing belts for linear actuators are typically manufactured from polyurethane reinforced with internal metal or Kevlar cords. The most typical tooth geometry for belts in linear actuators may be the AT profile, which has a large tooth width that provides high level of resistance against shear forces. On the driven end of the actuator (where the engine is attached) a precision-machined toothed pulley engages with the belt, while on the non-driven end, a set pulley simply provides assistance. The non-powered, or idler, pulley can be often utilized for tensioning the belt, although some styles offer tensioning mechanisms on the carriage. The kind of belt, tooth profile, and applied stress drive all determine the push which can be transmitted.
Rack and Linear Gearrack pinion systems used in linear actuators consist of a rack (generally known as the “linear equipment”), a pinion (or “circular equipment”), and a gearbox. The gearbox helps to optimize the velocity of the servo motor and the inertia match of the system. The teeth of a rack and pinion drive can be directly or helical, although helical teeth are often used because of their higher load capability and quieter procedure. For rack and pinion systems, the maximum force that can be transmitted is usually largely determined by the tooth pitch and how big is the pinion.
Our unique understanding extends from the coupling of linear program components – gearbox, engine, pinion and rack – to outstanding system solutions. We offer linear systems perfectly designed 
to meet your unique application needs with regards to the easy running, positioning precision and feed power of linear drives.
In the research of the linear motion of the gear drive system, the measuring platform of the apparatus rack is designed to be able to measure the linear error. using servo electric motor directly drives the gears on the rack. using servo motor directly drives the gear on the rack, and is dependant on the motion control PT point mode to realize the measurement of the Measuring range and standby control requirements etc. Along the way of the linear movement of the gear and rack drive system, the measuring data can be obtained utilizing the laser beam interferometer to measure the position of the actual motion of the apparatus axis. Using minimal square method to solve the linear equations of contradiction, and to expand it to a variety of instances and arbitrary amount of fitting features, using MATLAB programming to obtain the real data curve corresponds with design data curve, and the linear positioning precision and repeatability of equipment and rack. This technology could be prolonged to linear measurement and data analysis of the majority of linear motion mechanism. It can also be used as the basis for the automated compensation algorithm of linear movement control.
