Those high end machines have a master and slave motor each with their own pinion, which either work in tandem for maximum power and acceleration, or opposed to each other for electronic preloading. A lower-end R&P uses a sprung split pinion for preload. The hobby-level machines use a spring load mechanism because of the difficulty in mounting the rack and keeping a constant "center distance" with the pinion. When you "mash" the pinion into the rack you bottom the pinion out at the root, causing a "cogging" effect and prematurely wearing the system down. Also, commercial R&P have an automatic oiler, which aside from the obvious, takes up "clearance" in between teeth, because like anything, R&P are made to a tolerance.
