A rack is a straight toothed bar that meshes with a gear to turn rotation into linear motion. Our ground racks are finished on CNC gear-grinding machines with all faces ground and tip relief — suited to high-speed running. Ground and milled helical racks, matching helical gears and standard spur gears are kept in stock.
| Accuracy (ground rack) | DIN 6 (DIN 3962 / DIN 867), L5e24 — adjacent pitch error fp ≤ 0.003 mm, cumulative Fp ≤ 0.035 mm/m |
| Materials & hardness | C45 (induction hardened, HRC45), 42CrMo (induction hardened, HRC50), 20CrMnMo |
| Tooth form | 20° pressure angle; straight and helical teeth; module M1–M20 |
