  2. Rack and pinion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_and_pinion

    Animation of a rack and pinion. A rack and pinion is a type of linear actuator that comprises a circular gear (the pinion) engaging a linear gear (the rack). [1] Together, they convert between rotational motion and linear motion: rotating the pinion causes the rack to be driven in a line. Conversely, moving the rack linearly will cause the ...

  3. Gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear

    Torque can be converted to linear force by meshing a rack with a round gear called a pinion: the pinion turns, while the rack moves in a straight line. Such a mechanism is used in the steering of automobiles to convert the rotation of the steering wheel into the left-to-right motion of the tie rod (s) that are attached to the front wheels.

  4. Cam (mechanism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_(mechanism)

    The cam can be seen as a device that converts rotational motion to reciprocating (or sometimes oscillating) motion. [clarification needed] [3] A common example is the camshaft of an automobile, which takes the rotary motion of the engine and converts it into the reciprocating motion necessary to operate the intake and exhaust valves of the cylinders.

  5. Ratchet (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratchet_(device)

    Red arrows indicate which way force is applied to the gear rack. The rack and pawl are both restricted to only linear movement (not shown). A ratchet (occasionally spelled rachet ) is a mechanical device that allows continuous linear or rotary motion in only one direction while preventing motion in the opposite direction.

    A turnout consisting of a bridge that rotates about its lengthwise axle Locher rack system Locher rack system (seen from above) The Locher rack system invented by Eduard Locher, has gear teeth cut in the sides rather than the top of the rail, engaged by two cog wheels on the locomotive. This system allows use on steeper grades than the other ...

  7. Tank steering systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_steering_systems

    Tank steering systems allow a tank, or other continuous track vehicle, to turn. Because the tracks cannot be angled relative to the hull (in any operational design), steering must be accomplished by speeding one track up, slowing the other down (or reversing it), or a combination of both.

  8. Steering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering

    The steering mechanism can be designed and installed as a modular unit. Without mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the road wheel, it is less likely that the impact of a frontal crash will cause the steering wheel to impact the driver. Steering system characteristics can easily be adjusted to change the steering response and feel.

  9. Rack railway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_railway

    The Lamella rack can be used by locomotives designed for use on the Riggenbach or the Strub systems, so long as the safety-jaws that were a feature of the original Strub system are not used. Some railways use racks from multiple systems; for example, the St. Gallen Gais Appenzell Railway in Switzerland has sections of Riggenbach, Strub, and ...
