Maximum Performance with Limited Installation Space
The rack and pinion piston drive impresses with its ability to achieve large swivel angles even with limited axial installation space. The principle is based on the precise transmission and generation of torque through a rack piston, which is arranged transversely to the drive pinion shaft. This special design enables particularly robust and low-wear power transmission, making it ideal for the most demanding industrial applications.
For particularly high torque requirements and compact installation conditions, the rack and pinion drives from HKS Dreh-Antriebe GmbH are the first choice. For over 55 years, HKS has stood for uncompromising quality "Made in Germany", highest reliability, and tailor-made solutions – from single units and prototypes to series production.
