Rack and pinion steering systems work using a few key components. First, the system needs a power source. In most cases, that's either an electric motor or pressure created by hydraulic power ...

With rack and pinion steering, the rotation of the pinion causes linear motion of the rack, which turns the vehicle's wheels left or right. Rack and pinion systems are a common component in railways.

To stem cage creep, engineers at SKF Motion Technologies, Bethlehem, Pa., have developed a rack-and-pinion system which can be used as a drop-in design for most cross-roller systems.

Rack and pinions are the other precision linear drive. In concept, they're one of the oldest and most basic power transmission technologies. They consist simply of a pinion gear meshing with a ...
