A nylon rack is a linear mechanical component crafted from durable nylon, designed to work with a pinion gear to translate rotational motion into linear movement. Its lightweight construction and smooth surface make it ideal for applications where noise reduction, corrosion resistance, and low friction are priorities—such as in medical equipment, office automation, and residential sliding door systems. Unlike metal racks, nylon racks do not require lubrication, reducing maintenance needs, and they are less likely to damage mating gears if misaligned. They withstand exposure to water, oils, and mild chemicals, ensuring longevity in humid or harsh environments. Available in standard lengths and customizable cuts, they can be integrated into both small-scale devices and larger machinery. Our nylon racks are manufactured with high-precision tooth profiles for consistent meshing, ensuring efficient power transmission. They are suitable for low to medium load applications, offering a balance of strength and flexibility.
