Gudel UK has extended its metric and module sized precision rack and pinion ranges for machine tool, automation and special machine building applications.
Coventry-based parts handling and automation equipment specialist, Gudel UK has extended its metric and module sized precision rack and pinion ranges for machine tool, automation and special machine building applications.
With uprated load carrying capabilities, the latest additions to Gudel's positioning and drive technology components portfolio are ideal for installations requiring high speed, high acceleration or precise location of components weighing up to several hundred kilograms.
The company's drive pinions and corresponding straight or helical cut racks - offered in sizes from module 1.0 to 8.0 and 2 to 20 mm pitch - have been developed specifically for high accuracy, low backlash operation.
Racks are produced in steel with precision cut, precision cut and hardened, or hardened and ground variants capable of withstanding loads up to 50,000 Newtons.
They are also available in stainless steel and a variety of special finishes to combat aggressive or corrosive operating environments.
A further range of low-cost injection moulded Polyoximethylen racks meets the needs of light to medium duty applications, while pinions can also be supplied in Lauramid metal composite for high resistance to stress cracking.
All Gudel racks are manufactured to close tolerances, ready for use in continuous runs without modification, and can be produced with pre-drilled mounting holes for rapid fixing.
In addition, they can be supplied with up to module 5.0 and 12.5 mm pitch in round profile to suit applications such as rotary actuation units.
Complementing its rack and pinion ranges is the company's wide variety of heavy duty plain and grooved rollers and guideways.
A selection of low backlash worm gear and bevel drive units is also offered by the company - enabling users to engineer complete solutions to their component handling and automation problems.
In addition, Gudel supplies fully automated rack and pinion lubrication systems to ensure high performance, low maintenance installations, even under the most arduous operating conditions.
Gudel equipment is manufactured to ISO9001 quality standards, with most items available ex-stock from the company's UK headquarters in Coventry.
To mark the announcement of its extended range, Gudel has also published an updated version of its free 360-page guide, giving specification data for its full range of drive system components.
