<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 />
