Abstract
A displacement reduction mechanism for coupling to a linear sensor, including a pinion, a first rack having a first plurality of teeth and a second rack having a second plurality of teeth is provided. The first and second racks are parallel to each other. The first plurality of teeth protrude from the first rack in the same direction in which the second plurality of teeth protrude from the second rack. The pinion is configured to be rotated over the first and second racks and to engage simultaneously with the first plurality of teeth and the second plurality of teeth. A number of teeth per unit length of the first rack is different from a number of teeth per unit length of the second rack. Rotation of the pinion over the first rack and the second rack causes the second rack to be displaced relative to the first rack.
