Description

A rack and pinion gate consists of a gate frame, blade, rack(s), pinion gear(s), pinion shaft, shaft bearings and a manual or powered shaft drive. Some larger manual drives may incorporate v-belts and/or gearboxes for mechanical advantage. Most powered rack and pinion gates will incorporate some type of mechanical advantage between the driver and pinion shaft. Rack and pinion gates are used generally as maintenance gates ahead of feeders and other equipment. Due to their simple construction, rack and pinion gates can be relied on to operate after months of inactivity. This is especially important in the powerhouse and industrial applications. Due to their limited actuating speed, rack and pinion gates are rarely used to regulate flow into a processor onto a conveyor; however, they are sometimes used to discharge small hoppers that always discharge completely. For example, a rock bin that has a maximum capacity of one truckload may use a rack and pinion gate to shut off flow when a truck is not being loaded. Rack and pinion gates larger than 1500mm are seldom economical due to high operating forces and the resulting expensive drive hardware.

Gate frame, blade, racks, pinion gears, pinion shaft, bearings and shaft drive
Larger manual drives may use V-belts, gearboxes or both to reduce operating effort
Most powered gates gain mechanical advantage between the drive and pinion shaft
Limited actuating speed: rarely used to regulate flow into processors or onto conveyors
Gates over 1,500 mm are seldom economical: operating forces raise drive hardware costs
