RACK and PINION DRIVES
PIV Drives has developed rack and pinion drives for closing the mould of injection molding machines. They have a double toothed rack as output. The flange mounted motor allows a very compact design. To achieve high performance it was important to realize an almost perfect load distribution on the rack. Case hardened and grounded gear wheels are the base for these high performance drives with highest accelerating and deaccelerating torque. The special design of the gear wheels also leads to a very low noise level.
