Wittenstein Moves Master Slave Rack Combinations

Linear applications requiring zero backlash have a new look

Wittenstein offers the ultimate in zero backlash with the master slave combination of the alpha rack.

This setup consists of two pinions running on the same rack. A master pinion drives the mechanism as in a usual setup; meanwhile, a slave pinion can generate torque to apply an opposing force to the teeth that it engages. In this way, inertia and resistance remove backlash, even during load changes; system rigidity also increases and boosts control dynamics.

This is a Wittenstein application solution.
