Other Details

We are engaged in the engineering of highly efficient and cost effective pinion shafts that are known for durability and quality. Our r&d department is involved in product development and product innovation to offer better quality pinion shafts.

pinion shafts are the external input shaft of certain gear operators which drive the internal reduction gearing. Pinion shafts are of various types like: integral & shrunk fit pinion shafts. The pinion, or more correctly, the pinion shaft, is a round rod that also has teeth on it, although these teeth run parallel to the length of the shaft, not lengthwise as on the rack. The pinion shaft comes into the rack at a ninety-degree angle, held in place by a collar, and the teeth on the pinion mesh with the teeth on the rack. The pinion is connected directly to the steering column, so when the steering wheel is turned to the left, for instance, the pinion rotates counter-clockwise (from the driver's perspective).
