The right gearhead, rack and pinion

for every application

– from low-cost

to high-end solutions. The positioning
accuracy required in the application,
the existing measuring system and the
machine design essentially determine
the configuration of linear systems and
system combinations.

Dynamic

• Maximum movement speed and acceleration with low moments of

inertia.

• Extremely good control characteristics due to constant linear rigidity

along the entire movement path.

Precise

• New drive solutions with unique true running accuracy.
• Maximum positioning accuracy due to precision alignment of

components.

Efficient

• Effortless operation.
• Minimal mounting space and high power density.
• Enormous savings potential due to high level of energy efficiency.

New feature: free connection option

The flexible modular assembly concept
makes the Smart Class rack a versatile
all-rounder.

The correct rack is an essential component in realizing your machine concepts.
WITTENSTEIN alpha offers three classes of rack Premium Class, Value Class and
Smart Class to find the right solution for your application requirements.

Have the freedom to implement your ideas!

New: free connection

without mounting edge

systems

Rack & Pinion

system

Extremely flexible concept

Free connection concept:

The absence of the mounting edge allows simple and uncomplicated mounting of the
rack parallel to the machine guide.

Modular machine concept:

The 60 mm hole pattern and length of 480 mm

are compatible with the hole

patterns on linear guides

produced by well-known manufacturers and enable the

implementation of modular machine concepts.

Clearing the way for

unlimited movement paths.
