rack & pinion

機構 | Mechanism

A rack with gear teeth arranged in a straight line, and a gear that meshes with it is a pinion.

Small gears are also called pinions.

The rack moves linearly as the pinion rotates.

So it becomes a mechanism that can change the rotation to linear motion.

However, since the teeth of the rack do not continue indefinitely, the pinion must switch the rotation direction somewhere.
