71099073 - Arcair Climber Horizontal Rack Bar Replacement Assembly

Precision Control for Automated Gouging

The Arcair 71099073 Horizontal Rack Bar Assembly is a critical component designed specifically for the Arcair Climber automated gouging system. In the realm of automated metal removal, precision is paramount. The Climber system relies on robust mechanical linkages to position the high-amperage gouging torch accurately over the workpiece. This horizontal rack bar assembly serves as the backbone for lateral adjustments, utilizing a toothed rack mechanism to translate rotational motor output into linear positioning.

Manufactured to Arcair's exacting OEM standards, this assembly ensures seamless integration with existing Climber units. The rack teeth are machined to tight tolerances to mesh perfectly with the drive pinion, preventing slippage or backlash that could result in irregular groove depths or wandering gouges. Constructed from durable industrial-grade materials, the bar is engineered to resist the thermal stresses and physical wear typical of heavy-duty gouging environments found in shipyards, fabrication shops, and steel mills.

Maintenance professionals understand that the mechanical integrity of the travel system directly impacts process efficiency. A worn or damaged rack bar can lead to vibration, stuttering movement, or complete loss of horizontal control. By replacing compromised components with this genuine Arcair 71099073 assembly, operators can restore the system's original performance specifications, ensuring that automated gouging operations proceed with the speed and accuracy required for high-volume production.
