In rack drives, a gear motor mounted on the side pushes a steel rack out or in via a pinion. The rack is guided in a tube. The cross-section of the steel push rod is usually 12 x 12mm. The electronics of these drives is quite insensitive to dirt encapsulated in a robust gear housing made of aluminum or plastic. Because the motor is mounted on the side, the overall length is relatively short.
