Gear Racks
Gear racks enable rotating movement to be converted into linear motion. A gear is in conjunction with the gear rack in order to rotate the parallel shaft. Gear racks feature straight teeth that are cut into one surface (usually a round or square section) with the pinion. This cylindrical gear meshes with the gear rack. There are many types of gear racks available. It is possible to use gear racks that require multiple gear racks in series. These are commonly known as gear racks with machined ends. Special presses enable the construction of a gear rack to stay true. Gear racks are diverse and versatile mechanisms. They can be machine-ended, but they can also remain stationary in applications with the pinion traversing. In other applications, the pinion can rotate on a fixed axis as the gear rack is in motion. This adaptability of configuration enables gear racks to be used in conveying applications, as well as lifting and lowering mechanisms.
