Martin R16X4 Gear Rack, 14.5° Pressure Angle, 4 feet Long, High Alloy Steel, Inch, 16 Pitch, 0.3125" Wide, 0.3125" Thick, 0.25" Pitch Line Backing

Key features

• Gear rack for use with spur gear pinion to convert rotary motion into linear motion
• High alloy steel for strength and durability
• Pressure angle of 14.5 degrees for smoother, quieter movement and lower frictional forces
• Rack length sized for up to 4' of linear movement from rotary motion
• Meets AGMA commercial class standards

This Martin gear rack is 4' in length and is used with a spur gear pinion to convert rotary motion into linear motion. It is made of high alloy steel for strength and durability. The 14.5-degree pressure angle (PA) provides smoother, quieter movement and lower frictional forces than a 20-degree pressure angle. The rack length is sized for up to 4' of linear movement and meets American Gear Manufacturing Association (AGMA) standards 6-8 for commercial class gears. This gear rack is intended for use with matching pinion gears with the same pressure angle, number of teeth, and diametral pitch (number of teeth per inch). It is suitable for use in a variety of commercial and industrial applications, such as machine tool tables, lift mechanisms, guide mechanisms, and shakers, among others.Rack and pinion gears are made of a small round spur gear (the pinion) and a flat bar with evenly spaced teeth (the rack). Rack and pinion gears convert rotational motion into linear motion. As the pinion turns, its teeth mesh with the rack’s teeth to move it in a straight line. Gears are available in a variety of materials, including stainless steel, cast iron, brass, and plastic, depending on applicat
