Browning 1234558 Gear Rack 3/16 in 14.5 Degree Steel

Product Description

The BROWNING 1234558 is a steel gear rack designed for linear motion power transmission applications. Gear racks convert rotational movement from a mating pinion gear into straight-line motion, making them a core component in slides, actuators, positioning systems, and automated machinery. This rack features a 3/16 inch face width and a 14.5 degree pressure angle, a traditional standard that provides reliable tooth engagement across a wide range of compatible pinion gears. The all-steel construction delivers the durability required for industrial and mechanical drive applications.

This gear rack is suited for light-duty linear motion assemblies in industrial, mechanical, and automated equipment. The 14.5 degree pressure angle is a legacy standard found in many existing drive trains and replacement applications. Typical installations include conveyor positioning systems, linear actuators, machine tool slides, and similar equipment where a compact gear rack profile is required. Fabricators, millwrights, and mechanical assemblers commonly work with components of this type during machine build and maintenance operations.

Key Features

• 3/16 inch face width for compact linear drive assemblies
• 14.5 degree pressure angle compatible with standard legacy pinion gears
• Steel construction for durability in industrial drive applications
• UNSPSC Code 31171500 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed for use with mating pinion gears cut to a 14.5 degree pressure angle standard. Consult gear geometry specifications to confirm module or diametral pitch match before installation.

Installation Notes

Gear rack installation is typically performed by millwrights or mechanical assemblers. Ensure the mating pinion gear shares the same pressure angle and diametral pitch before assembly. Secure mounting surfaces should be clean and flat to maintain proper tooth mesh alignment along the full rack length. Disengage and lock out all power sources before servicing any gear drive assembly.
