Precision Long Helical Rack for Industrial Automation

A client required a custom long helical rack (9 x 7 x 30mm) to provide precise linear motion in their industrial automation system. The component needed to deliver smooth engagement, reduced backlash, and high load capacity for heavy machinery applications.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS

The project involved precision manufacturing and machining to meet exact specifications, with rigorous quality control throughout production. Custom engineering solutions ensured the component was tailored specifically to the client’s system requirements.

KEY ADVANTAGES

The helical design provides superior performance compared to straight racks:

  • Smoother motion and reduced wear through helical tooth pattern
  • Minimal backlash for precise positioning in automation applications
  • High durability engineered to withstand heavy loads and continuous operation

VALUE OF CUSTOM MANUFACTURING

This project demonstrates the importance of specialised manufacturing capabilities. Custom fabrication to exact specifications ensures optimal system integration, while high-quality materials and precision processes guarantee long-term reliability in demanding industrial environments.

The combination of technical expertise, customisation capabilities, and proven track record provides clients with confidence in their critical motion control systems.
