How does a rack and pinion mechanism work?

A rack and pinion is a pair of gears which convert rotational motion into linear motion. The circular pinionengages teeth on a flat bar - the rack. Rotational motion applied to the pinion will cause the rack to move.See Here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_and_pinion


What is bull gear mechanism?

In a rack and pinion system, a bull gear is typically the last reduction gear in the geartrain. It transmits torque to an output pinion which is in contact with a rack.


How rack and pinion is used for indexing mechanism?

you need a rack and pinion nut breaker to which you fix a pinion at the free end ie where nut is placed to be cracked. This is because you need to convert reciprocating motion of the rack and pinion mechanism built in the nut cracker into circular motion. Attach the nut cracker to the collect chuck shaft through the bore of the additional pinion you installed at the free end of the cracker. When you punch the nut cracker vide its handle once it moves the pinion one tooth on the rack. Thus you can rotate ( ie give angular motion to ) the fixed workpiece from one tooth or as many teeth as you like., depending on the pitch of the threads on the rack and pinion. mazHur

What is the rack and pinion in rack and pinion steering?

A rack and pinion is a pair of gears which convert rotational motion into linear motion. The circular pinion engages teeth on a flat bar - the rack. Rotational motion applied to the pinion (by the steering wheel) will cause the rack to move to one side or the other, right up to the limit of its travel. The rack and pinion arrangement is commonly found in the steering mechanism of cars or other wheeled, steered vehicles. This arrangement provides a lesser mechanical advantage than other mechanisms such as recirculating ball, but much less backlash and greater feedback, or steering "feel". If you guessed that rack and pinion steering is used on race cars, you'd be correct. Use the links below to see some diagrams. A picture is definitely worth a thousand words in this case.
