Wittenstein Provides Readers with History, Application and Fundamentals of Rack

Mike Anselmo, Application Engineering Manager for Wittenstein, provides Motion System Design readers with detailed application information, technical analysis and product knowledge on rack linear technology.

Wittenstein has been specializing in linear motion technology for over a decade. The first rack and pinion systems that Wittenstein designed and supported were for high-end applications with strict requirements. This year marks an exciting time for Wittenstein, as the company launches new options for the Value Class rack to better support the low-duty applications.

In this cover story for MSD's February edition, topics addressed include:

• Geometry and surface details
• Lubrication
• Rack-and-pinon integration
• Preloading
• Rack-and-pinion versus ballscrews
• Rack-and-pinion versus linear motor
