GearRackNPinion() 1:

This method is used to finalize a chaining of gears by means of a rack.

GearRackNPinion() 2:

Effects on the actual position

The gear methods are used to determine the moment of inertia and the encoder weighting. Check the resulting EncoderWeighting to ensure that it matches the NC.
