Movement is produced by contact between a gear, the pinion, and a toothed bar fixed to the mast, the rack.
Driven by the cabin's brake motor assembly, the pinion travels along the rack teeth. This interaction allows the elevator to move up and down.
Rack's post explains this principle as part of the engineering behind equipment operation on site.
