Besides rack and pinion a cable drive is another possible drive method.
I turned up a simple sheave with a V-groove and an r=0.4mm radius at the bottom.
This turns out to be too small for the cable, but experiencing that is the sole reason for these tests. I will also test aramid rope, for example.
Of course, with the cable not straight this will not run linear. That's not the point at this moment anyway. I just want to see if I need to fix the cable to the sheave and assess it's running qualities and resonances.
