What is Pin gear drive unit?^​​

This is a transmission part that has the same function as a gear or rack and pinion, and converts rotation into linear motion or rotation into another type of rotational motion by combining a pin-mechanical wheel rack with a dedicated gear. It has been delivered to a variety of devices.

Features

• - Uses a segment system, making installation easy
• The pin gear is designed with a generous module, and the excellent balance with the pin wheel/pin rack allows for large transmission torque.
• ・Wide variety to suit your needs

A lineup of specifications to suit your application

Type and specifications	Steel Type Standard Specifications	Steel Type Electroless Nickel Plating specification	Steel Type Highly rust-resistant	Flexible Type	Stainless steel type Standard Specifications	Special specifications
Recommendation	Can be used for general purposes	Standard environments where rust prevention performance is required	Wet environments	Difficult to install	Corrosive atmosphere	Various uses
Features	The most versatile type that is compatible with all frame sizes	Uniform surface treatment provides stable corrosion resistance and provides excellent rust prevention performance in standard usage environments.	The allowable tangential load is the same as the standard specification, but the special surface treatment improves corrosion resistance. Demonstrates strong rust prevention properties in severe corrosive environments such as outdoors, near water, and coastal areas.	This type has a wider tolerance for center distance accuracy than the steel type. It is also effective when the installation position of equipment that undergoes thermal expansion is changed during operation.	Suitable for use in corrosive environments such as water, acidic, and alkaline environments. Usable in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 400°C.	Surface treatment specifications, lock pin gear specifications, small backlash specifications, etc. are available. Please contact us.
