I am trying to design a custom rack gear similar to ones used in a rack and pinion gear system. Instead of a pinion i am using a disk with 4 rods equally spaced on the disk that almost act as the teeth. I want to be able to plot the path of the rods as the disk rotates over a flat surface by simulating the movement. With this path I can design the rack.I am trying to design a custom rack gear similar to ones used in a rack and pinion gear system.
