<strong>Rack</strong> <strong>And</strong> <strong>Pinion</strong> <strong>Market</strong><br />
Global <strong>Rack</strong> and <strong>Pinion</strong><strong>Market</strong>: Dynamics<br />
Application of racks and pinions can be used in any machine that requires conversion<br />
of rotational motion into linear motion and is commonly used in all types of gear<br />
systems from the modern power steering systems to conventional manual systems.<br />
<strong>Rack</strong> and pinion performs exceptional to its application as they are much less<br />
catastrophic to failure in vertical applications thus manufacturer discourage the use<br />
of belt driven actuators, and is a potential factor that drives growth of global rack<br />
and pinion market. Owing to dual pinion design or split pinion, the possibility to<br />
preload a rack and pinion system to avoid backslash is another potential factor that<br />
boost the application of rack and pinion in machines. Moreover racks and pinions can<br />
be constructed in nearly unlimited length.<br />
The rack and pinion have advantage of positioning accuracy over belt drivers as to<br />
the unavoidable fact of belt have compliance and are made of plastic and will<br />
eventually stretch. <strong>Rack</strong> and pinion automatic lubrication system are always<br />
recommended to avoid failure or reduced performance. Substitute to rack and pinion<br />
such as belt and pulley system that do not require lubrication is the factor that<br />
restrain to global rack and pinion market. <strong>Rack</strong> and pinion actuator are open system<br />
which doesn’t have simple and effective way to enclose them, on the other hand belt<br />
driven actuators have advantage as they are relatively unaffected by liquid<br />
contamination such as oil and water.<br />
