Atlanta HighForce ZTRS precision planetary rack and pinion drive systems

The Atlanta HighForce ZTRS precision planetary rack and pinion drive systems are offered in three different planetary drive styles; with helical or straight (spur) rack and pinion, to meet any application requirements.

The rack and pinion drive systems are very well suited to ultra-precise applications with thrust forces up to 124 kN. They are available in five sizes with backlash levels down to one arc minute and ratios from 4:1 to 100:1, and can handle highly dynamic and heavy loads. They use precision planetary reducers with an integral output housing and outboard bearing to provide a rigid support of the output pinion.

By adding an output bearing housing, the tilting moment capacity of the flanged planetary reducer is dramatically increased. Also, the unique design of the pinion allows for smaller pitch diameters, which decreases the torque on the reducer. Because of these design enhancements, a smaller reducer can typically be used.
