Technical Specifications

FAQ

1. What is the primary function of this rack & pinion system?

• Designed for automated greenhouse ventilation and shading, this system converts rotary motion (from motors or manual cranks) into linear motion to open/close vents or retract shade nets with precision.

2. What materials are used, and why?

• Stainless steel (304/316) or aluminum alloy – Offers corrosion resistance for humid greenhouse environments. Surface treatments (anodizing, powder coating) further enhance durability.

3. Can the system be customized for my greenhouse dimensions?

• Yes. We provide:

  • Custom rack lengths (up to 6m or longer with splicing).

  • Adjustable gear modules (1.0–2.0mm) for varying load requirements.

  • Motor/actuator compatibility (electric, pneumatic, or manual drives).

4. What’s the load capacity, and how is it calculated?

• Standard capacity: 500–2000N (depends on gear module and material).

• We perform FEA simulations to verify load-bearing capacity for your specific application.

5. How do I maintain the system?

• Minimal maintenance required:

  • Lubrication-free designs available (optional self-lubricating coatings).

  • Periodic inspection for debris (recommended cleaning with dry air/brush).

6. What’s the lifespan of the system?

• 10+ years under normal conditions (UV-resistant coatings extend longevity). Lifespan depends on:

  • Environmental exposure (coastal/high-salinity areas may require SS316).

  • Load cycles (we provide cycle-life estimates upon request).

7. Is the system compatible with smart greenhouse controls?

• Yes. Integrates with:

  • PLC systems (via motorized actuators).

  • Limit switches (for automated position feedback).

  • IoT sensors (optional retrofitting).

8. What certifications do you offer?

• ISO 9001 (quality management), RoHS (material safety), and IP54/IP65 (weatherproofing). CE certification available upon request.

9. What’s your lead time for custom orders?

• 30–45 days (standard).
