2. Rack and pinion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_and_pinion

   A rack and pinion has roughly the same purpose as a worm gear with a rack replacing the gear, in that both convert torque to linear force. However the rack and pinion generally provides higher linear speed — since a full turn of the pinion displaces the rack by an amount equal to the pinion's pitch circle whereas a full rotation of the worm screw only displaces the rack by one tooth width.

3. Pinion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinion

   In many cases, such as remote controlled toys, the pinion is also the drive gear for a reduction in speed, since electric motors operate at higher speed and lower torque than desirable at the wheels. However the reverse is true in watches, where gear trains commence with a high-torque, low-speed spring and terminate in the fast-and-weak escapement.

4. Rack railway - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_railway

   The Pilatus Railway is the steepest rack railway in the world, with a maximum gradient of 48% and an average gradient of 35%. Functioning of the rack and pinion on the Strub system. A rack railway (also rack-and-pinion railway, cog railway, or cogwheel railway) is a steep grade railway with a toothed rack rail, usually between the running rails.

5. List of gear nomenclature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gear_nomenclature

   This page lists the standard US nomenclature used in the description of mechanical gear construction and function, together with definitions of the terms. The terminology was established by the American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA), under accreditation from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

6. Recirculating ball - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recirculating_ball

   A diagram of a recirculating ball mechanism. Recirculating ball, also known as recirculating ball and nut or worm and sector, is a steering mechanism commonly found in older automobiles, off-road vehicles, and some trucks.

7. Pipe rack - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_rack

   A pipe rack is the main artery of a process unit. Pipe racks carry process and utility piping and may also include instrument and cable trays as well as equipment mounted over all of these. [2] Pipe racks consist of a series of transverse beams that run along the length of the pipe system, spaced at uniform intervals typically around 20 ft.

8. Talk:Rack and pinion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Rack_and_pinion

   I've tried to tidy it up a bit, picture of rack and pinion steering moved to the right, Refrences have been moved down a bit so that the image did not distort it, and the link to Rack and Pinion Railway has been moved to the top (it was right on the bottom) so that anyone looking for rack and pinion railways doesnt need to read the whole ...
