Example: An example of rack and pinion gears can be found in the steering system of a car. In this case, the
pinion gear is attached to the steering column and rotates as the driver turns the steering wheel. The teeth of
the pinion engage with the teeth of the rack, which is attached to the steering mechanism.
As the pinion rotates, the rack moves linearly, translating the rotational motion of the steering wheel into linear
motion. This linear motion is then used to control the movement of the car’s wheels, enabling steering in the
desired direction.
Rack and pinion gears are also widely used in robotics, where they can be employed in linear actuators to control
the movement of robot arms or other robotic mechanisms. The precise control and mechanical advantage
provided by rack and pinion gears make them suitable for various applications that require linear motion
conversion and accurate motion control.
