How to push top plate moving upwards as the over gear push against it?

Hi,

Please see the video recording first.

I would like to push top plate moving upwards as the over gear push against it.

How can I do this? I tried as built-join and selected moving a single axis, but it didn't work.

 

Thanks!

Without your model, I can only guess.  You probably need to add a Slider Joint to the top plate and add some joint limits and then use a Tangent Relationship between the egg shaped piece and the top plate.  Please attach your model of a more definitive answer.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

For the life of me I do not understand, you ask a question on the Forum, I ask you to attach your model and give you instructions on how to do it, but you do not.  Why do you ask the question in the first place?  Anyway, I took the time to model a similar assembly and add the Joints and Tangent Relationship I mentioned earlier to make it function.  My model is attached.  If you have any questions, please ask.  Get in the habit of attaching your model to all your Forum posts that concern that model.  You will get a lot faster and more relevant answers.

Hi jhackney1972,
I'm really appreciated you put in the effort to answer my question. 
Sorry, I'm in Taiwan and I just woke up this morning to see the answer.

I will attach the model next time when I ask a question on the forum.


In the meantime, let me try your solution!
[One hour later...]

I've tested your model and it worked perfectly!!

I also try your steps to apply the tangent relationship to my design and it worked as well!

You are a good teacher!  Thank you very much!

 

Thanks!

Hi @jhackney1972 

I have another question:

The base is grounded and it won't move anymore.
However, from time to time, I would like to rotate the base 45 degree counterclockwise. Is there a solution for this? 
I tried to unground the base, but it messed up when I tried to rotate the base.

 

Thank you very much!
