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.

Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design 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.

Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design 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.
Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design 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 same at point P, the pitch point VP 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.

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. Simple Gear Trains
