1. Straight Gear Racks

Straight gear racks feature teeth cut parallel to the rack length, offering direct and precise linear motion. They are ideal for applications demanding accuracy, simplicity, and durability, such as:

• Conveyor systems

• Linear actuators

• Material handling equipment

• Machine tools

Their straightforward design allows for easy installation and consistent performance.

2. Helical Gear Racks

Helical racks are designed with angled teeth, allowing for quieter, smoother, and more gradual tooth engagement compared to straight racks. They are perfect for high-speed or continuous-motion environments where noise and vibration must be minimized. Common applications include:

• CNC machining centers

• Robotics

• Packaging machinery

• Printing and labeling equipment

Helical gear racks also exhibit higher load capacity and longer service life, making them a superior choice for precision automation.

3. Curved Gear Racks

Curved racks are engineered for non-linear motion. They maintain accurate movement along circular or curved paths, supporting advanced automation and robotic systems that operate outside of straight-line trajectories.

Used in:

• Robotic arms and articulating systems

• Automated inspection or camera positioning setups

• Rotational-to-linear hybrid systems

Curved gear racks enable innovative mechanical designs that conventional racks cannot achieve.

4. Round Gear Racks

Round gear racks are machined from circular or cylindrical bars, designed to integrate with specific geometric assemblies or limited-space designs. These are used in:

• Custom machinery

• Precision measuring instruments

• Automated rotary indexing systems

Their shape allows for easy mounting, unique motion geometry, and compact integration in specialized devices.

5. Plastic Gear Racks

Plastic racks are an excellent alternative for applications requiring corrosion resistance, reduced weight, or low noise. They are manufactured from high-quality engineering plastics like nylon, acetal, or POM, offering:

• Smooth and quiet operation

• Resistance to moisture and chemicals

• Cost-effectiveness for low-load applications

Typical uses include food processing, medical equipment, and clean-room automation systems.

6. Gear Racks for Sliding Gates

Kingstrans manufactures gear racks specifically for automatic sliding gates, designed to ensure reliable and quiet gate movement. Made from galvanized steel or reinforced plastic, they resist outdoor conditions such as rain, dust, and temperature variation.

Applications:

• Residential and commercial gates

• Industrial sliding doors

• Access control systems

These racks combine strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring years of maintenance-free operation.

7. Gear Racks for Construction and Heavy Machinery

Built for demanding conditions, our construction-grade gear racks handle high loads and repetitive motion. They are used in:

• Scaffolding systems

• Tower cranes

• Material elevators

• Tunnel boring and lifting equipment

Each rack is heat-treated for toughness and precision-machined for safety and reliability in the field.
