  2. Rack railway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_railway

    Rack railway. The Pilatus Railway is the steepest rack railway in the world, with a maximum gradient of 48% and an average gradient of 35%. A rack railway (also rack-and-pinion railway, cog railway, or cogwheel railway) is a steep grade railway with a toothed rack rail, usually between the running rails. The trains are fitted with one or more ...

  3. Rack and pinion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_and_pinion

    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 a full rotation of the worm screw only displaces the rack by one tooth width.

  4. Mount Washington Cog Railway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Washington_Cog_Railway

    talk. edit. The Mount Washington Cog Railway, also known as the Cog, is the world's first mountain-climbing cog railway (rack-and-pinion railway). The railway climbs Mount Washington in New Hampshire, United States. It uses a Marsh rack system and both steam and biodiesel -powered locomotives to carry tourists to the top of the mountain.

  5. Ball joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_joint

    A ball joint consists of a bearing stud and socket enclosed in a casing; all these parts are made of steel. The bearing stud is tapered and threaded, and fits into a tapered hole in the steering knuckle. A protective encasing prevents dirt from getting into the joint assembly. Usually, this is a rubber-like boot that allows movement and ...

  6. Backlash (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backlash_(engineering)

    Backlash (engineering) In mechanical engineering, backlash, sometimes called lash, play, or slop, is a clearance or lost motion in a mechanism caused by gaps between the parts. It can be defined as "the maximum distance or angle through which any part of a mechanical system may be moved in one direction without applying appreciable force or ...

  7. Ackermann steering geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_steering_geometry

    Ackermann geometry. The Ackermann steering geometry is a geometric arrangement of linkages in the steering of a car or other vehicle designed to solve the problem of wheels on the inside and outside of a turn needing to trace out circles of different radii. It was invented by the German carriage builder Georg Lankensperger in Munich in 1816 ...

  8. Steering kickback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_kickback

    Steering kickback is a phenomenon which vehicle makers try to minimize in an early design phase of every vehicle because minimizing this phenomenon after vehicle deployment can be quite difficult. A major decrease of the force and velocity of the kickback requires changes in the suspension kinematics, namely the kingpin inclination and offset ...

  9. Steering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering

    Rack and pinion unit mounted in the cockpit of an Ariel Atom sports car chassis, atypical of contemporary production automobiles Non-assisted steering box of a motor vehicle. Many modern cars have a steering mechanism called a rack and pinion. The steering wheel turns a pinion gear, which moves a rack back and forth to steer the wheels.
