INDUSTRIES & SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS
Construction and building equipment
Racks, pinions and guideways for construction hoists, material lifts, climbing platforms and long-travel lifting axes.
ENGINEERING CONTEXT
Specific applications, components and selection
A drive pinion moves the cage along a rack fixed to the mast.
Selection considers load, speed, height, shock, environment, braking and limit systems.
Pitch consistency, joint reliability, wear resistance and site installation datums are key.
RACK & PINION IN APPLICATION
Application schematic
Rack drive in a construction hoist
The rack is fixed to the mast while a motor and gearbox drive the pinion, moving the cage vertically. Load, speed, shock and braking determine module, material and heat treatment.
Project factors
Hardened straight rack, drive pinion, guideway
Shock, wear, joining and safety margin
