Transform Your Robotics Projects with Precision Linear Motion
Building custom robotics or automated models often requires converting standard rotational movement into linear pushing or pulling actions. Sourcing industrial-grade linear actuators can be expensive and heavy. This DIY TT Motor Rack and Pinion Kit solves that problem instantly, giving you a lightweight, cost-effective, and highly reliable mechanical solution tailored for your custom builds.
Engineered for Makers and Innovators
Whether you are designing a smart trash can, an automated sorting gate, or a custom RC vehicle, this kit bridges the gap between your ideas and reality. By utilizing a simple yet highly effective gear-and-rack mechanism, it ensures smooth, synchronized dual-sided extension.
Built for Standard TT Dual-Shaft Motors
We know that compatibility is crucial for DIY electronics. This mounting bracket is precisely molded to securely house standard TT dual-shaft gear motors (the ubiquitous yellow motors found in almost every starter electronics kit). The included pinion gears press-fit snugly onto both shafts, ensuring zero-slip power transmission to the dual linear racks. (Please note: The TT motor itself is explicitly not included in this kit).
Complete Hardware Kit for Immediate Assembly
Don't waste time digging through your parts bin for the right screws. This package arrives complete with the primary mounting bracket, two pinion gears, two toothed linear racks, and a dedicated packet of stainless steel mounting screws and nuts. You can transition from unboxing to full mechanical assembly in minutes.

FAQ Section
FAQ Section
Q. Does this kit come with the yellow TT motor shown in the first picture?
A. No, the TT motor is shown for demonstration purposes only to illustrate how the final assembly looks. You will need to supply your own standard TT dual-shaft gear motor.
Q. What kind of projects is this rack and pinion set suitable for?
A. It is ideal for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and Micro:bit robotics projects that require a mechanical arm, a sliding door, an automated gate, or a basic lifting mechanism.
Q. Do I need any special tools to put this together?
A. No special tools are required. You will only need a basic Phillips-head screwdriver to tighten the included mounting screws and secure the motor bracket.
