Internal Rack Pinion Reciprocator diagram
Internal Rack Reciprocator: Pitch Speed and Nominal Rate Calculator | FIRGELLI
Calculate metric pinion pitch diameter, pitch-line speed and nominal traverse rates from an entered stroke. Tooth handoff and real cycle dynamics are not solved.

Mangle Rack: Fixed Pinion and Reciprocating Double Rack
Explore a fixed-axis pinion driving alternating upper and lower racks. Calculate ideal straight-engagement travel, speed and time; end-transfer timing is excluded.

Mangle-Rack Form 3: Module-Defined Pinion and Straight Run
Explore a guided mangle-rack path. Calculate pinion pitch diameter from metric module and tooth count, then estimate ideal straight-run speed and time.
