This article applied only to machines that use rack gear (or rack-and-pinion gear). Learning how they function offers insight into how they improve our machines.
The rack gear is a straight row of teeth that meshes with the teeth of a pinion gear. The pinion gear consists of a small wheel with teeth around its edge. The pinion gear spins and on the gear rack, which is a linear gear.
So rack and pinion gear systems are pretty awesome because they have the ability to turn the rotation of a wheel into straight line motion. This makes them really handy in machines that have to translate stuff in straight lines, such as cars, elevators and some robots.

In machines rack and pinion gears are typically used in CNC machines, robots, and particular assembly lines. These gears enable machines to move accurately and lift heavy objects with ease.

The difference between rack and pinion gears is that rack gears are straight and pinion gears are round. One more difference is that rack gears are usually for moving straight, whereas pinion gear is for transferring objects from Point A to Point B.

To choose the right rack and pinion gear for your machine, consider its load capacity and speed setting, as well as the area available for gearing. Keep these factors in mind to select appropriate rack & pinion gear so that your machine performs great.
