Racks for the perfect drive
Racks from G&G Antriebstechnik are used when fitting original components in mechanical and plant engineering applications as well as for maintenance, repair and modernisation measures.
Drives designed with racks and spur gears are used for axial power transmission, or more precisely for converting rotary motion into linear motion and vice versa: In one case, the driven spur gear moves linearly on the fixed rack.

Information on racks
Applications
Typical applications for drives with racks and spur gears include woodworking machines, packaging machines, conveyor systems, handling technology and automation technology.
G&G customers include special machine and plant manufacturers for the furniture industry and the food industry, as well as German car manufacturers and their suppliers.
Racks with spur gearing
Our basic range at G&G Antriebstechnik includes square racks and round racks made of steel, stainless steel and plastic with involute toothing from module 1 to module 10. The toothing is milled in a quality of 8-9. We supply round racks in tolerances H11, H9 and with a ground outer contour in H6.
Racks with helical gearing
G&G racks with helical gearing are manufactured with a pressure angle of 20° and a helix angle of 19°31‘42‘‘ in the materials C45 and 16MnCr5. The teeth are milled, hardened and ground. A toothing quality of 6h25 is achieved. Naturally, the range also includes matching precision gears and products from G&G’s private brand GEARflex®.
Racks with spur or helical gearing?
The high product and manufacturing quality of helical gear G&G racks offer users many advantages, including:
- High degree of positioning accuracy
- Running smoothness
- Low noise
- Low wear
- Long service life
This applies in particular to applications in which high travelling speeds with frequent load and direction changes transmit high torques.
However, if the application demands robust linear movements that have to be performed reliably, even under adverse operating conditions, spur gear G&G racks with standard or hardened teeth are the right choice.
For both approaches, G&G offers several series in various dimensions. All our racks are cut to length in the interest of continuous assembly. An assembly piece can allow you to concatenate any number of racks with both spur and helical gearing.
Racks in series or as a custom-made product?
For the purpose of fitting original components in mechanical and plant engineering applications, our services include the machining of series parts, heat and surface treatment, and the manufacture of complete custom-made products based on drawings.
We also produce custom-made products for maintenance and servicing purposes based both on drawings and samples. Even in a quantity of ONE.
