GEARSUITE — Rack & pinion

A rack is a gear with infinitely many teeth, so its tooth form is the ISO 53 basic rack itself. There is no ratio here, only travel per turn.

Nominal geometry, for machining or resin. Every surface moves in by this much, so teeth get thinner and bores get wider from the one number. It applies to STL only; STEP keeps the nominal geometry, because a CAD file that carries one printer's shrinkage is wrong everywhere else.

STEP is not built for these parts yet, so that column is off. STL is unaffected. A rack is a prism, so STEP would only repeat the STL. Not built yet.
