What is Rack and Pinion?
A rack and pinion is a type of linear motion mechanism that converts rotational motion into linear motion. It consists of two main components: a rack and a pinion, below you can see brief explanation of both parts.
- Rack: The rack is a flat, toothed bar or track that is typically straight or slightly curved. The teeth on the rack mesh with the teeth on the pinion.
- Pinion: The pinion is a small, circular gear that is mounted on a rotating shaft. As the pinion rotates, its teeth engage with the teeth on the rack, causing the rack to move in a straight line.
The main purpose of a rack and pinion system is to convert the rotational motion of the pinion into linear motion of the rack. This mechanism is commonly use in various applications, especially in steering systems of vehicles.
Additionally, you can use rack and pinion systems in other applications such as machinery, robotics, and certain types of linear actuators where precise linear motion is required.
