Helical Rack & Pinion Drive

grabcad

A helical rack and pinion system is a type of drive mechanism where a toothed wheel, known as the rack, meshes with a rod-shaped gear called the pinion. The teeth are arranged at an angle to each other, forming a helix shape, which allows for smooth and efficient transmission of rotational motion between two shafts. This design is commonly used in automotive applications, such as steering systems and automated transmissions.
