HighForce ZTRS
For ultra-precise applications with thrust forces up to 28,000 lb., the HighForce ZTRS rack & pinion drive systems are very well suited. These drives, which are available in five sizes with backlash levels down to one arc-minute, can handle highly dynamic and heavy loads. They utilize precision planetary reducers with an integral output housing and outboard bearing to provide a rigid support of the output pinion.
By adding an output bearing housing, the tilting moment capacity of the flanged planetary reducer is dramatically increased. Also, the unique design of the pinion allows for smaller pitch diameters, which decreases the torque on the reducer. Because of these design enhancements, a smaller reducer can typically be used.
