ATLANTA Drive Systems' New Torque Supporter Precision Rack & Pinion Drive Systems

ATLANTA Drive Systems Inc. announces anew range of Torque Supporter Precision Rack & Pinion Drive Systems thatcan handle highly dynamic and heavy loads. These systems utilize precisionplanetary reducers with an integral output housing and outboard bearing toprovide a rigid support to the output pinion.

Typically,reducers with output flanges are limited in the forces they can transmit by thetilting moment that the output bearings can handle. By adding an output bearinghousing, this limitation is removed. The design of the pinion allows forsmaller pitch diameters, which reduces the reducer torque. Because of thesedesign enhancements, a smaller reducer can typically be used.

These drivescan be used for a wide range of applications, including axis drives requiringprecise positioning and repeatability, traveling gantries and columns, pick-and-placerobots, CNC routers, and material handling systems. Heavy loads and duty cyclescan be easily handled with this drives.
