Gear racks can be classified based on several factors:
Tooth Profile: The tooth profile of a gear rack can be straight, helical, or circular.
Module: Gear racks are classified based on the module, which is the unit of size that indicates the pitch of the teeth.
Material: Gear racks can be classified based on the material they are made of, such as steel, aluminum, plastic, or other materials.
Size: Gear racks come in various sizes and lengths to suit different applications.
Quality: Gear racks can be classified based on their precision and quality standards, such as AGMA (American Gear Manufacturers Association) standards or DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung) standards.
These classifications help in selecting the right gear rack for specific applications based on requirements such as load capacity, speed, accuracy, and environmental conditions.
