Rack and Pinion

Revolve and Fixate In a mechanical context, "rack and pinion" refers to a system where a rotating cylindrical component (the rack) translates the motion into linear movement of another part through its teeth engaging with a fixed (pinion). This mechanism is commonly utilized in steering systems of vehicles for precise control. By simply spinning the words, "rack and pinion" can be creatively rephrased as "revolute and fixate", where "revolute" implies rotation or turning around a point, while "fixate" suggests securing or stabilizing something in place. Despite its novel phrasing, this rewrite still conveys the core concept of the original term.
