Rack And Pinion Gears
Rack And Pinion Gears are the gear form used to convert circular motion to linear motion. Rack and pinion gears are infinite in diameter. In other words, they are not in cylindrical form like other known gear forms, but in flat form, that is, they can be considered of as an iron rod. Rack and Pinion Gears work with a pinion. The teeth of rack and pinion gears can be straight or helical.
Some of the advantages of a Rack and Pinion gear pair are simplicity of design and high load bearing capacities. There are also limitations despite the advantages of this design. For instance; The gear pair cannot continue indefinitely in one direction because the movement is limited by the length of the Rack and Pinion Gear.
In addition, Rack and Pinion gear pairs tend to have a greater amount of backlash than other gear pairs. Consequently, there is a significant amount of friction and stress on the teeth, which causes them to deteriorate more quickly.
