Download our essential Rack drawing, a fundamental component for any mechanical engineer or machine builder. This technical drawing provides a detailed, fabrication-ready blueprint for a standard Module 1 gear rack—the most common interpretation of “Rack 1” in a mechanical context. This component is the linear half of a “rack and pinion” system, the preferred mechanism for converting rotary motion into precise, high-torque linear travel.
This file is a complete manufacturing plan, engineered to save you countless hours of drafting time by providing a fully-dimensioned part that adheres to international gear standards. It is the perfect foundation for a huge range of projects, including CNC routers, plasma cutters, linear actuators, and custom robotic systems where long-travel, high-speed motion is required.
Our free download package includes DWG, DXF, and PDF formats, ensuring instant compatibility with your preferred CAD or CAM software. You can send this file directly to a machine shop for gear cutting, waterjet, or laser cutting, or use it as a basis to design your own custom-length rack. Download the file today to get the professional template you need.
Caractéristiques principales :
- Standard Module 1 Pitch: Features a standard (Mod 1) involute tooth profile, ensuring easy integration with off-the-shelf Mod 1 spur gears.
- Entièrement dimensionné : Includes all critical manufacturing dimensions, such as pitch, addendum, dedendum, and overall face width.
- Mounting Hole Pattern: Provides a standard, evenly spaced mounting hole pattern for securely fastening the rack to a machine bed or frame.
- Precise Tooth Profile: Includes a precise cross-section of the gear tooth, essential for accurate CAM programming, wire EDM, or waterjet cutting.
- Editable CAD Formats: Supplied as native DWG and DXF files, allowing you to easily scale the length, modify the mounting, or integrate it into a larger assembly.
