of the pinion. i need to findout the teeth spacing on the rack and pinion........... that can help me calculate the distance moved by the rack for 1 rotation of the pinion...........
thanx.............😛

Without knowing the load to be moved, you can not decide the pitch of Rack & Pinion.
Also mention the distance of the rack you required to mave by one revolution of pinion.

There is formula for calculating the pitch, but it also requires the technical data as written earlier.

in Rack and pinion
first u need to know the load,to choose the module type.ie.module1,1.5 etc.higher the module more distance u will travel for one rotation of pinion.and lower the resolution will be.
you need to have the gears technical handbook to choose the appropriate rack and pinon.give me some time i will post the gear reference manual.using which u can do the module and pitch calculations.

Zorif is right. I also suggested same thing.
From the load you can decide module od DP ( in inches). Once you know the module, you can calculate further data from gear design handbook.
