Example: Juan de Fuca oceanic plate colliding with the North American Plate created the Cascade Mountain Range in the western U.S. The Andes Mountains are another example. Continental vs. Continental Convergent Boundaries What happens: Two thick continental plates collide. The plates do not subduct. They crumple, fold, fault, and create
Rack and Pinion Gears Information. Rack and pinion gears are used to convert rotation into linear motion. The flat, toothed part is the rack and the gear is the pinion. A piston coaxial to the rack provides hydraulic assistance force, and an open centered rotary valve controls the assist level. A rack and pinion gears system is composed of two gears.
Rack and Pinion. Rack-and-pinion steering is quickly becoming the most common type of steering on cars, small trucks and SUVs. The rack-and-pinion gearset does two things. First, it converts the motion of the steering wheel into the motion needed to turn the wheels. Second, it provides a gear reduction, making it easier to turn the wheels. Simply put, your vehicle's steering system relies on the rack and pinion to make steering feel 'tight.' Bring your vehicle to Big O Tires for a diagnosis of your steering system.
