Example for pinion / rack drive
One revolution of the pinion moves the drive by the distance between
the number of teeth of the rack.
For rack with straight teeth, the distance between the teeth is
determined by the so-called rack modulus where Module 1 means inter-
tooth distance = p [mm],, Module 2 means 2p [mm];
The following example shows a rack and pinion with 18 teeth, Module 1.5
The distance per revolution of the pinion is 84.8230mm - using a
ratio of 1:2 gives us ( 1 : 2 ) x 84.8230mm = 42.4115mm per revolution of
the motor and this is the parameter to be entered for the axis in the
"Machine" tab.
