KHK USA Inc. Announces Extensive Line of Premium Metric Gear Racks
Large Selection includes Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel and Nylon Racks
Mineola, NY - KHK USA Inc., distributor of the market leading KHK® brand of metric gears, announces its extensive line of metric gear racks, manufactured to the highest quality standards by Kohara Gear Industry Co., of Japan. KHK's large selection of gear racks provide smooth transmission of power and are suitable for a very wide range of applications where linear translation is required.
KHK gear racks are offered in sizes from Module 0.5 through Module 10, with lengths from 100mm through 2000mm. All of the racks offered by KHK USA have finished ends which permit the joining of various lengths of gear rack to form one continuous length.
The list of available materials for KHK gear racks includes brass, carbon steel (S45C), chromalloy steel (SCM440), stainless steel (SUS303), and engineering plastics such as MC901 nylon.
The 360 configurations of KHK gear racks include rectangular cross section, square cross section and round cross section with either straight or helical teeth. These gear racks can be supplied with modifications including the addition of tapped or through holes, hardening of the teeth and shortening of the length. KHK USA J-Series products, which have already had many of these modifications completed, are available with quick lead times.
Unique to KHK is a laser hardening process for gear racks. This process allows for the hardness of the rack tooth flank to be similar to that of an induction hardened or flame hardened rack, without the introduction of any distortion. These gears racks are identified in the KHK catalog by a suffix of HL.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs
Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
