2 general guidelines
2.1 the standardized gear and rack used:
(i) AISI - BOSTON
(ii) DIN - HASCO

2.2 material for gear and rack: P20 STL 28~32HRC.

2.3 the preferred data:
(i)
P=12( for metric:M=2)
(ii)
=20o( 14.5o not used)
(iii) N=even number and greater than 14

2.4

Nomenclature:
P=Diametral Pitch;
=Pressure Angle;
N=Number of Teeth.

try to shorten the length of rack and it should be less than 15.

2.5 the gear ration is between 2.5~3;

2.6

a clearanceof 0.005is added to the center distance for a smooth operation;

2.7

the cylinder located on the top side of mold;

2.8

the specification of molded screw:size,grade,RH(LH) and lead;

2.9

all the gear and rack data listed on the 2D drawing;

2.10 the thermal expansion should be considered between gear ring and axis(Min.
0.02mm);
2.11 no rotation of molded part occurred when unscrewing.

3. the clearance between the gear center

C=D1+D2+0.005"
Where :
C=center distance
D1(D2)= Pitch Diameter

Or overcut the pitch diameter.
