Newly Re-designed P-Series Gearbox improves Backlash, Corrosion Resistance and Center Distance between Input and Outputs! 

RPA Series Rack & Pinion Linear Actuator Boxes

A gear rack mated with a pinion gear creates a linear actuator that converts rotational motion into linear motion or vice versa. The pinion, a circular gear, engages the teeth on the rack, a straight, or “linear,” gear. Rotational motion applied to the pinion will cause the rack to move relative the pinion; conversely, linear motion applied to the rack will cause the pinion to move relative to the rack. In either situation, the input motion is translated into the opposite output motion.
 

Ondrives.US has long been a leader in power transfer solutions. Our high performance RPA Series rack and pinion linear actuator boxes can convert rotational motion to linear motion or convert linear motion into rotational motion, as your application requires. Available in five different models of stroke lengths between 10mm and 30mm, it’s easy to find the right rack and pinion linear actuator for your needs. Special stroke lengths and custom rack and pinion gearboxes can be supplied to meet your requirements. Order the RPA Series rack and pinion linear actuator your project needs or request a quote.

High Performance Rack & Pinion Linear Actuators

All RPA Series rack and pinion linear actuators consist of a solid, one-piece aluminium housing that contains a rack gear and a pinion gear. In either drive mode (rotational to linear or linear to rotational), our rack and pinion linear actuators deliver superior performance and minimal backlash (as little as 2° backlash).
 
Our rack and pinion gearboxes feature relatively short strokes, with five options between 10mm and 30mm available. Ondrives.US can provide a custom stroke length to meet your specialized requirements. RPA actuators deliver up to 60 Kg max load output (varies by model).
