The Plastic Double Sided Gear Rack 82Teeth 380mm Length 14mm Width, with 4mm tooth pitch, made from durable yellow plastic. This gear rack enables rack-and-pinion linear motion — a pinion gear (round toothed gear) rolls along the rack’s teeth converting its rotational motion into precise straight-line travel, making this gear rack 82 teeth the component that turns a motor’s spin into controlled forward and backward linear movement across its 380mm span.
The plastic gear rack’s “double sided” design places teeth on both faces of the rack body — this allows a pinion gear to engage from either side depending on the mechanism’s spatial constraints, or enables two pinion gears to drive the rack simultaneously from opposite sides for more balanced force distribution in wider carriage systems. This rack and pinion gear component’s 4mm pitch means each full tooth-to-tooth spacing is 4mm, so a 20-tooth pinion gear advances the carriage exactly 80mm per full revolution, a useful figure for calculating motor steps-to-travel in servo or stepper-driven DIY gear rack builds.
A diy gear rack uses plastic construction rather than metal — plastic racks are lighter, quieter, and lower cost, but have lower load capacity and wear faster under continuous heavy-load cycles compared to aluminum or steel rack alternatives. Available from StemVolt, this unit is suitable for engineers working on linear motion mechanisms and practical rack-and-pinion DIY robotics projects.
