Rack
A rack is a spur gear with an pitch diameter of infinity. The sides of the teeth are straight lines making an angle to the line
of centers equal to the pressure angle.

How an Involute Gear Profile is constructed
A1B1=A1A0, A2B2=2 A1A0 , etc Pressure Angle Φ has the values of 20° or 25 ° 14.5 ° has also been used.
Gear profile is constructed from the base circle. Then additional clearance are given.

Conjugate Action
When surfaces roll/slide against each other and
produce constant angular velocity ratio, they are said
to have conjugate action.
Can be accomplished if
instant center of velocity
between the two bodies remains stationary between the grounded instant centers.

Fundamental Law of Gearing:
The common normal of the tooth
profiles at all points within the mesh
must always pass through a fixed point on the line of the centers called pitch point. Then the gearset’s velocity ratio will be constant through the mesh and
be equal to the ratio of the gear radii.

Conjugate Action: Fundamental Law of Gearing
Forces are transmitted on line of action which is normal to the contacting surfaces.
Velocity. VP of both gears is the
VP
same at point P , the pitch point
Angular velocity ratio is inversely proportional to the
radii to point P , the pitch point.
Circles drawn through P from each fixed pivot are pitch
circles, each with a pitch radius.

Nomenclature
Smaller Gear is Pinion and Larger one is the gear
In most application the pinion is the driver, This reduces speed but it increases torque.
