Rotation to linear motion

“A rack and pinion is a pair of gears which convert rotational motion


into linear motion. The circular pinion engages teeth on a flat bar - the
rack. Rotational motion applied to the pinion will cause the rack to
move to the side, up to the limit of its travel.” (Wikipedia)
