- [Instructor] In this video, we're going to mate our gears
to the mounting plate.
As you can see, the mounting plate is fully defined,
while the gears are free to move around in space.
We're going to mate each gear to the mountain point
using coincident and concentric mates,
making sure that you don't lock the rotation
of the concentric mate.
We want to make sure the gears can rotate freely
about their central axis.
First, we're going to create a concentric mate
between gears one
and the leftmost hole on our mounting plate.
So we'll highlight the bore diameter for gear one
and the leftmost hole on gear two.
And again, we're making sure
that this lock rotation box is not checked.
So we'll hit OK.
And we want to use a coincident mate
to mate the back face of the gear
to the mounting plate front face.
Okay.
And we're just going to repeat this
for gears two and three respectively,
mating gear two on this top right hole
and gear three on this bottom right hole.
So we are doing a concentric mate,
not locking rotation.
Another one here.
And join two coincident mates
there for gear two and here for gear three.
Okay?
Now, the reason we didn't check off this lock rotation box
is because we want the gears
to be able to be rotated freely.
And we're actually going to align them here
so that the teeth are properly aligned.
All right, now we're ready to dynamically mate the gears
to one another.
