STOBER announces new ZS Rack

While rack and pinion products are not new for STOBER, the new ZS Rack that launched this week elevates STOBER’s rack and pinion offerings.  The ZS Rack is made to STOBER specifications and provides the best solutions for customers. 

Featuring fastening bores every 62.5mm and maximum feed force of 83.1kN, the ZS Rack boasts gearing quality 6 in accordance with DIN 3962-1.  Available in ½-meter and 1-meter lengths, the ZS Rack can be paired with STOBER inline or right-angle gearboxes or geared motors and is ideal for laser cutting, pick and place, 7^th axis, and tube bending applications. 

Other benefits include:

• The power of one
  • Get the rack, pinion, gearbox, motor, lubrication kit and companion rack all from one source: STOBER! From high-speed to high-force pinions, inline to right-angle gearboxes and geared motors, STOBER has the optimal solution. Keep things oiled and running smoothly with a lubrication kit, and use a companion rack to make installation even easier.
    
    
• Safety first
  • Rack and pinion products require many safety features, especially in a vertical axis application. The new STOBER ZS rack features double the number of installation bores to ensure the rack does not flex when under strenuous loads. Plus, the helical rack design can handle higher loads since more teeth are engaged. Pair it with our ServoStop safety brake and optimize your safety rating!
    
    
•  As quiet as a church mouse
  • The STOBER ZS helical rack is hardened and made with high tensile steel, making it much quieter than a straight rack. Add a planetary gearbox or geared motor and you have the quietest running solution on the market… quiet enough for church!
    
    
• Lightning fast
  • With a helical rack and double the number of installation bores, STOBER racks can handle higher acceleration without a hitch. Installation has become faster than ever by eliminating time-consuming pinning to the machine. Simply use the ZS rack’s extra bores to save 30-45 minutes per rack installation! Pin holes are still in the rack if desired, and the rack solution is just like all products from STOBER – delivered in days, not weeks.  We’ll be waiting at the finish line!
    
    
• STOBER has your back
  • Use our configurator to quickly build what you need or let our engineers be a trusted extension of your engineering team. We will size the complete system for you – rack, pinion, gearbox, motor, and accessories – or be ready to provide backup if you need it!
