A pinion gear rotates when it is driven by another gear or motor. As the driving gear turns, its teeth engage with the teeth of the pinion gear, causing it to turn in a specific direction. The rotation of the pinion gear can then transfer motion to another component in a mechanical system, such as a rack or another gear. The speed and torque of the rotation depend on the size and arrangement of the gears involved.
What else can I help you with?
What would cause your steering wheel to rotate 360 degrees and the tires not move?
Bad coupling from the steering wheel to the rack & pinion or steering gear. Faulty steering gear
How do you get a gear ratio?
count your teeth on your ring gear <big gear> and on you pinion <little gear> and the divide the ring gear teeth by the pinion
How many teeth on a ring gear and pinion gear for 4.10 gear ratio?

How does a crown and pinion gear work?
A crown and pinion gear system consists of two gears: the pinion, which is a small gear, and the crown gear, typically a larger, circular gear with teeth angled perpendicular to those of the pinion. The pinion gear engages with the crown gear, allowing for a change in direction of motion, commonly seen in applications like vehicle differentials. As the pinion rotates, it drives the crown gear, converting rotational motion into lateral motion. This setup is crucial for transferring torque efficiently while enabling smooth changes in direction.
Give you a sentence with pinion in it?
The pinion gear meshes with the steering rack.
A pinion gear with 14 teeth is driving a spur gear with 42 teeth at 140 RPM. Determine the speed of the pinion gear.?
420 RPM
How do you figure final drive gear ratio?
To calculate the final drive gear ratio, divide the number of teeth on the driven gear (typically the ring gear in the differential) by the number of teeth on the driving gear (usually the pinion gear). For example, if the ring gear has 40 teeth and the pinion gear has 10 teeth, the final drive gear ratio would be 40:10, which simplifies to 4:1. This ratio indicates how many times the driveshaft must rotate to turn the wheels once, influencing acceleration and top speed.
What is used to connect the pinion gear to the wheels?
ring gear
Can a ring gear be replaced without replacing the pinion gear?
no
