RP- Rack & Pinion Serie

Rack and Pinion actuators often represent the cheapest solution for rotary small dimension valves or valves that need a constant torque during the entire stroke.

They are particularly suited for modulation valves and can reach high torques up to 1.100.000 Nm.

For this type of actuator it is extremely important to efficiently support the rack that is subject to heavy forces due to the inclination of the gear tooth.
