Precision Gear Racks

Precision gear racks have longer in service lives, smoother performance characteristics and more accurate pitch control than other machining techniques. HRS can machine in straight, spur and helical tooth forms up to 45 degrees, with a 450mm/17.75 inch face width and height and up to 12 meters/40 ft. long. HRS utilizes specially dedicated CNC rack cutting machines to ensure the highest accuracy up to AGMA class 10 spacing tolerances.

Lead and Power Screws

HRS manufactures all types of screws, using performance guaranteed materials and offers unique solutions to power transmission problems. All screws are cut from performance guaranteed materials, are subject to stringent quality controls, and are cut rather than rolled resulting in:

Greater accuracy.
A greater precision fit with mating nuts.
The thread is concentric with major diameter.
Superior control of cumulative pitch accuracy.

Pinions
