Rack and pinion gearboxes for positioning systems
The lifgo and lean SL rack and pinion gearboxes from Leantechnik are particularly suitable for applications in which precise synchronous positioning tasks need to be performed.
lifgo' developed lean technology specifically for applications in which heavy loads need to be positioned. The rack and pinion gearboxes are available in various series with lifting forces from 2,000 to 15,900 N and lifting speeds of up to 3 m/s. Versions are also available for applications with long travel distances, with gripping and centering movements and for applications with a combination of gripping and centering movements as well as long travel distances.
The 'lean SL' rack and pinion gearboxes are suitable for simple synchronous positioning tasks without lateral force absorption. They are used for applications where a guide is already present. Various sizes and two versions are available, lifting forces of 800 to 25,000 N can be absorbed and lifting speeds of up to 0.6 m/s can be achieved. In addition to the standard model, there is also a version for gripping and centering movements.
