Helical Racks and Pinions
Rack and pinion systems are actuators that convert the rotary motion of a pinion to linear motion at the rack. Helical racks and pinions help complete your linear motion solution. Helical racks and pinions are a cost-effective linear motion solution for movement lengths greater than 2 meters.

Racks and pinions are mechanical gear components that convert rotary motion into linear motion. High-precision helical gear teeth, on both the rack and pinion, provide smooth and quiet linear motion. These pinions are designed to be mounted to the output shaft of SureGear stepper or servo gearboxes, and also work with other popular brands.

Helical Pinions
GAM helical pinions mate with corresponding GAM rack modules to convert gearbox rotation into linear rack travel. Pinions are intended for compatible SureGear gearbox output shafts, with tooth count and mounting style selected to match the required rack module, travel per revolution, gearbox interface, and mechanical connection.
- Tooth-count choices provide different pitch diameters and travel-per-revolution values for axis design
- Keyed-shaft, bolt-through, and set-screw mounting styles support different compatible gearbox-output arrangements

Helical Racks
GAM helical racks provide gear-driven linear travel for machine axes that need scalable stroke beyond the practical length of screw-driven systems. One-meter rack sections can be installed in sequence to build the required axis length, while helical tooth geometry provides smooth engagement for positioning, material-handling, and gantry applications.
- Module 1.5, 2.0, and 3.0 rack choices allow tooth size to be matched to the corresponding pinion and load requirement
- Hardened rack construction is intended for use with matching GAM helical pinions

Helical Rack Installation Gauges
GAM helical rack installation gauges establish tooth alignment where two rack sections meet, helping maintain consistent pinion engagement across a multi-section axis. Each gauge corresponds to a specific rack module, so the installation tool is selected from the same 1.5, 2.0, or 3.0 module used by the rack and pinion components.
