Mechanical Mates:

The Mechanical Mate types are:

• Hinge: Limits the movement between two components to

one rotational degree of freedom. It has the same effect as I ~ j Universal Joint

adding a Concentric mate plus a Coincident mate. Mate alignment:

• Gear: Forces two components to rotate relative to one

another around selected axes.

• Rack Pinion: Provides the ability to have Linear translation of a part; rack causes

circular rotation in another part, pinion, and vice versa.

• Screw: Constrains two components to be concentric and adds a pitch relationship

between the rotation of one component and the translation of the other.

• Universal Joint: The rotation of one component (the output shaft) about its axis is

driven by the rotation of another component ( the input shaft) about its axis.

-;Q~ Mates reflect the physical behavior of a component in an assembly. In this project,

the two most common Mate types are Concentric and Coincident.

Quick Mate:

Quick Mate is a procedure to mate components together. No command (click Mate from

the Assembly CommandManager) is required. Hold the Ctrl key down, make your

selections. Release the Ctrl key, and a Quick Mate pop-up menu is displayed below the

context toolbar. Select your mate and you are finished.
