Gear racks are the most basic type of gear having straight-sided teeth that are parallel to the axis of rotation of a mating pinion gear. The rack and pinion mechanism is most commonly used to convert the rotational motion of the motor-driven pinion to the linear motion of the rack. The teeth of gear racks are either straight like that of spur gears or angled like helical gears. Gear Rack Experience Geartronics has one of the industry’s largest library of gear rack designs. However, if you have a design requirement for a custom gear rack that can’t be sourced ‘off-the-shelf’, our skilled technicians will work with you to meet your precise needs.
