create 2 opposite rolling cylinders

[n.j.verduin]

I am sure it must be easy but it is drivingme nuts 🙂

First of all Happy New Year from the Netherlands!!!

I have used autodesk products (autocad and inventor) sin e they exist. An I know how to make 2 cylinders rolling against each other. But how do I do that in Fusion360. So if the diamters are equal in size both cylinders rotate the same outer distance.  And if not, the smaller cylinder will travel relatively faster.

An online tutorial would be a great help.

You are looking for the Motion Link command which is under Assembly menu.  The video will show the use.  The motion link ratio can be anything that reflects the two different diameters.  I also mention Fusion has a flaw in that if you drive the large cylinder, the small cylinder will reset when it reaches 360 degrees of rotation but you can also just drag it.  The model I used is attached.

John,

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. 

I can not do much today (I have my  grandson here today) But I will try to get it done myself this weekend.

Kindest regards

It took me a while to get it figured out but now it works. And more important I understand why 😀. So again thank you very much for putting me on track.
