Rack (English)

Japanese: ラック(英語表記)rack
Rack (English)
A flat plate or rod with teeth of the same shape and evenly spaced on one side. It can be considered as a spur gear with an infinite pitch circle diameter, and in an involute gear, the teeth of the rack are straight. Racks are used to mesh with the small gear (also called a pinion, the gear with the fewer teeth in a pair of gears) and are also used in steering parts of automobiles. Racks are also used as cutters for cutting gear teeth (rack cutters). The JIS specifies that racks with the specifications specified for standard gears are called basic racks. A specific pitch line where the thickness of the rack teeth is half the pitch is called the basic pitch line, and a tool with the cutting edge in the space of the basic rack is called a basic rack-type tool.

Lacq

A village in the Pyrenees-Atlantiques department in southwestern France. Although it is a small village, it attracted attention in 1951 when oil and natural gas fields were discovered nearby. The natural gas reserves in particular are on a world-class scale, with over 30 gas wells currently drilled and pipelines extending from the village to various parts of southwestern France. A gas chemical industrial complex has been formed, producing gasoline, propane, etc., and by treating the hydrogen sulfide contained in the gas, over 1.8 million tons of sulfur are separated per year. A gas-fired power plant is also being built for an aluminum factory. A complex is currently being developed in the new town of Moulin-l'Enne. Population: 664 (1990)

lac

Also called sticklac (crude lac), shikou, or hanamotsyaku. A resinous substance secreted by female lac scale insects onto the surface of their bodies. The refined form is called shellac, and is used in paints (varnish), sealing wax, electrical insulation materials, etc. The water-soluble components of crude lac contain red anthraquinone pigments, and were used as a dye (lac dye) in the past.

平らな板または棒の一面に,等間隔に同形の歯を刻んだもの。平歯車のピッチ円直径が無限大になったものと考えてよく,インボリュート歯形ではラックの歯形が直線になる。ラックは小歯車 (ピニオンともいう。1対の歯車で歯数の少いほうの歯車) と噛み合せて用いられ,自動車のステアリング部品にも組込まれている。また,ラックは歯車の歯切り用のカッタ (ラックカッタ) としても利用される。 JISでは,標準歯車に定められた諸元を有するラックを基準ラックとして規定している。ラックの歯の厚さがピッチの2分の1になるような特定のピッチ線を基準ピッチ線といい,基準ラックの空間部分を切刃部とした工具を基準ラック形工具と呼ぶ。
