630-422: A full rotation of the worm screw only displaces the rack by one tooth width. By the same token, a rack and pinion mechanism yields a smaller linear force than a worm gear, for the same input torque. Also, a rack and pinion pair can be used in the opposite way, to turn linear force into torque; whereas a worm drive can be used in only one way. The teeth of a rack and pinion pair may be either straight (parallel to

765-431: A low cost press forging process to manufacture the racks, eliminating the need to machine the gear teeth. A rack and pinion has roughly the same purpose than a worm gear with a rack replacing the gear, in that both convert torque to linear force. However the rack and pinion generally provides higher linear speed — since a full turn of the pinion displaces the rack by an amount equal to the pinion's pitch circle whereas

The time and place of the invention of the rack-and-pinion mechanism are unknown, but it presumably was not long after the invention of gears.

1665-437: Is not straight but arcuate (bent), namely just a section of a large gear. A single pinion can simultaneously drive two racks, parallel but opposite; which will always be displaced by the same distance, only in opposite directions.

1890-512: The Xuanyuan arquebus (軒轅銃), featuring a rack-and-pinion matchlock mechanism derived from an Ottoman Turkish matchlock design. The Wu Pei Chih (1621) later described Ottoman Turkish muskets that used a rack-and-pinion mechanism. The use of a variable rack (still using a normal pinion) was invented by Arthur Ernest Bishop in the 1970s, so as to improve vehicle response and steering "feel", especially at high speeds. He also created
