A rack and pinion is a pair of gears which convert rotational motion into linear motion. The circular pinionengages teeth on a flat bar - the rack. Rotational motion applied to the pinion will cause the rack to move.

How rack and pinion is used for indexing mechanism?
you need a rack and pinion nut breaker to which you fix a pinion at the free end ie where nut is placed to be cracked. This is because you need to convert reciprocating motion of the rack and pinion mechanism built in the nut cracker into circular motion. Attach the nut cracker to the collect chuck shaft through the bore of the additional pinion you installed at the free end of the cracker. When you punch the nut cracker vide its handle once it moves the pinion one tooth on the rack. Thus you can rotate ( ie give angular motion to ) the fixed workpiece from one tooth or as many teeth as you like., depending on the pitch of the threads on the rack and pinion. mazHur
What mechanism converts rotary motion to rotary motion at right angles?
A rack and pinion, cam, crank, and screw can do that.
Where might you find a rack and pinion?

Is it necessary to replace complete rack-pinion or can you just install new seals when the steering is leaking Assuming power steering fluid seal would not work?
Yes, you can replace just the "boots" on the end of a rack-and-pinion steering provided that the mechanism is not damaged. Unfortunately, the boot is just a dust cover and if the inner mechanism has started leaking there really isn't much that can be done without completely disassembling the mechanism. The fluid in a rack assembly is under pressure from the Power Steering pump and once it starts leaking the rack is pretty much "done".
