rack pinion

Assuming you’ve ever wondered how cars turn gracefully, you can thank something called rack and pinion steering. You are like a driver assistant system which prepares data behind the scenes and helps you drive efficiently and safely. But what is rack and pinion steering, and how does it function?

Rack and pinion steering is a simple little device that makes cars go left and right. Picture a long, flat metal strip with barbs on one side (the rack) moving from side to side. Also connected to this rack is a small gear (the pinion) that rotates when you turn the steering wheel. When you spin the wheel of your car, the pinion gear rotates and pushes the rack left or right, allowing the wheels to change direction. It’s almost magic, though really, it’s just an intelligent arrangement that engineers figured out to make driving easier.

The benefits of rack and pinion systems in automotive applications

Modern cars make use of rack and pinion systems, since they have numerous advantages. For a start, they tend to be smaller and lighter than steering systems of old — saving cars fuel and making them easier to drive. Second, rack and pinion steering systems provide superior steering control, allowing drivers to make sharper turns. Finally, this system is more robust and requires less maintenance to ensure that cars always run perfectly for a considerably longer time.
