Rack And Pinion Gate Design

The rack and pinion slide gate is a specific type of grain flow slide gate that works on the principle of a rack and pinion gear set.

Rack and pinion gate design.

Gates may prevent or control entry or exit of vehicles and human crowd. A gate is a point of entrance to a space enclosed by walls. Toll free 800 325 7175 universal rack pinion slide gates this heavy duty manually controlled gate can easily be operated by a chain cable or hand wheel. When activated by your operator this rack and pinion mechanism moves the slide plate open or closed with the help of a hand wheel blushed rollers and plate retainers.

Honeyville also offers a curved rack and pinion for our u trough augers that comes in 8 to 16 to match our trough s. Rack and pinion combinations are often used as part of a simple linear actuator where the rotation of a shaft powered by hand or by a motor is converted to linear motion. The rack and pinion slides from honeyville are in 8 to 24 flat square openings. Introduction gates are commonly used now days at residential area and industrial area.

Rack and pinion operated gate design mechanical project. Designed with a single rack in the center. The rack carries the full load of the actuator directly and so the driving pinion is usually small so that the gear ratio reduces the torque required. All rack and pinions have a 10 5 8 wheel set up for 3 16 coil proof chain.

The results of the design shows that weight of new rack and pinion gearbox is 20 less than the oem rpg with nearly 40 reduction in the cost achieving the desired steering ratio.
