Scotch Yoke Mechanism help

[Anonymous]

Hi Guys,

I am new to the Fusion 360. So,

Have a look to my design

http://a360.co/2kebDCO

I am trying to do the Scotch Yoke Mechanism and I don't have any idea what type of joints should I use between Chassis and the rotary Wheel.

I'm really appreciate your help or idea.

@jeff_strater,

You will please check out my screencast, something is wrong with the joints. 2 Sliders should have worked in this scenario but they didn't! 

Thanks.

Hi @Beyondforce,

A Slider joint won't work in this case because the pin actually rotates in that slot.  A slider joint requires the components to maintain the same orientation (only allows a single degree of freedom).  However, we have just the joint type for this:  A "pin slot" joint.  I thought I might need a Motion Link to make this all work together, but somewhat surprisingly (to me), it all just works!!!
