Rack & Pinion Gate – Durable and Reliable Flow Control

A rack and pinion gate is a type of linear actuator that consists of a gate frame, blade, racks, pinion gears, pinion shaft, shaft bearings and manual or powered shaft drive. A rack and pinion drive can use both straight and helical gears. Driving the pinion into rotation causes the rack to be driven linearly. Driving the rack linearly will cause the pinion to be driven into a rotation. Helical gears are most often preferred as they provide quieter operation and have a higher load-bearing capacity. The maximum force that can be transmitted in a rack and pinion mechanism is the tooth pitch and the size of the pinion. Rack and pinion gates are generally used as maintenance gates ahead of feeders and other equipment. Due to their simple construction, rack and pinion gates can be relied on to operate after months of inactivity, which is especially beneficial in powerhouse and industrial applications.
