The rack and pinion mechanism is used in rack railways, where the pinion mounted on a locomotive or a railroad car engages a rack usually placed between the rails, and helps to move the train up a steep gradient. It is also used in arbor presses and drill presses, where the pinion is connected to a lever and displaces a vertical rack (the ram). In pipelines and other industrial piping systems, a rack displaced by a linar actuator turns a pinion to open or close a valve. Stairlifts, lock gates, electric gates, and the mechanical steering mechanism of cars are other notable applications.

The term "rack and pinion" may be used also when the rack is not straight but arcuate (bent), namely just a section of a large gear.

    The teeth of a rack and pinion pair may be either straight (parallel to the rotation axis, as in a spur gear) or helical. On the pinion, the profile of the working tooth surfaces is usually an arc of involute, as in most gears. On the rack, on the other hand, the matching working surfaces are flat. One may intrepret them as involute tooth faces for a gear with infinite radius. In both parts the teeth are typically formed with a gear cutter(a hob).
