What Is Rack&Pinion for Sliding Gate?

Rack&Pinion for Sliding Gate is a transmission device used for sliding doors. It consists of a rack and a gear (also known as a small gear or pin shaft). The rack is fixed on the sliding door, while the gear is connected to the motor. When the motor is running, the gears rotate and the sliding door slides smoothly along the track by meshing the racks. This transmission device has a simple and reliable structure, and can provide good control and operational performance, widely used in various sliding door systems.
