Slot Mechanism In Creo
Slot Mechanism In Creo 4,5/5 8561 votes
Each of the curved cut-out bits in the part shown below is a slot for a mechanism where pins with diameter equal to the width of the tracks will slide back and forth as the wheel spins.
So I need to connect the pins with slot connection. But I do not know how to create the curve that will be used for each slot connection. I need to add a curve to the center of each slot that matches it curvature.
For some reason I can't think of what the best way to do this would be. They are circular arcs so I suppose I could use a parametric equation to create circles, but I'm not sure that's the easiest and I'm not sure I'll know how to match up the ends precisely.
Anyone have any recommendations on what might be a particularly good way of going about this? <BR ='Apple-interchange-newline'>

Ball and Slot Connection. . Connection reaction —Measure the reaction forces and moments at joint, gear-pair, cam-follower, or slot-follower connections. Net load —Measure the magnitude of a force load on a spring, damper, servo motor, force, torque, or motion axis.
