April 11, 2011 - WITTENSTEIN ntroduces the RP+ Linear System, which includes a combination of gearbox, pinion and rack for intelligent integration of specifically developed drive components. The rack assembly of the RP+ is characterized by high precision and optimal power transmission. Utilizing this rack results in a quiet-running solution which is weight- and noise-optimized. The gearbox and pinion components of the RP+ system are unique to the design, significantly increasing allowable torques. The high forces produced by the meshing of rack and pinion teeth are controlled more effectively, improving system rigidity and positioning accuracy.
The RP+ linear system is suited for high performing automation applications such as those found in the metal forming / cutting industries. Compared to other systems, the RP+ possesses superior positioning accuracy, system rigidity, power density and feeding force.
