New Integrated Rack Range Mounts Directly to Most Linear Guide Rails by Atlanta Drive Systems
ATLANTA Drive Systems, Inc. is pleased to announce a new range of Integrated Racks which mount directly to most standard linear guide rails, eliminating the need for additional machining and alignment, saving time and money. Compact, performance optimized designs can easily be achieved with these racks.
By mounting the rack and rail together, the need for a separate mounting surface for the rail is eliminated. Additional alignment between the rack and rail is also not necessary, since it is possible to assemble the rack to the rail off of the machine frame.

High-reliability Gearboxes and Bearings cut Conveyor Maintenance and Energy Costs at Aggregates Quarry
Conveyor uptime has increased dramatically at Corcoran Concrete's quarry in County Mayo, following a switch to Dodge-brand gearboxes and bearings from Baldor. The decision was made following trials on conveyors in the sand production area of the quarry. Here, bearings were failing as often as three times a year, and the gearboxes typically lasted only 12 months. In some cases, a bearing failure also meant changing the gearbox as well, as it had to be removed by force - sustaining damage in the process. In these cases, the material costs were dwarfed by the day's downtime needed for the repair. ...More >>
Ultra-Precise Positioning Achieved with Zero-Backlash Rack & Pinion Drives from ATLANTA Drive Systems
ATLANTA Drive Systems, Inc. offers a range of zero-backlash rack & pinion drives that eliminate system backlash by means of a split-pinion and dual-pinion arrangement, providing ultra-precise positioning and repeatability. Positioning accuracy is maintained during acceleration and deceleration, as well as for direction of travel reversals.
The backlash is eliminated by using two pinions - one to drive the axis and the other to engage the opposite tooth flank and take up the backlash. Mechanically preloaded split-pinion drives utilize an axial spring to load one pinion half against the other. Electrically preloaded dual-pinion drives utilize two motors, each driving one pinion, which are loaded against each other by means of a special motor controller.
