- Apply a Mate Constraint between Axis of Gear Wheel and Axis of Gear.
- Next, apply a Mate Constraint between face of Gear Wheel and face of Gear.
- Apply another Mate Constraint between YZ Plane of Gear Wheel and XZ Plane of Gear.
- Re-orient the Gear Wheel with respect to Frame using Rotate Component Tool.
- Apply an Axis Mate between Gear Wheel and stud of Frame.
- Place Spindle in the Assembly.
- Apply a Mate Constraint between Axis of Frame and Axis of Spindle.
- Next, apply a Mate Constraint between inner face of supporting cylinder of frame and back face of the spindle.
- Place Pinion-2 in the Assembly.
- Apply a Mate Constraint between Axis of Pinion-2 and Axis of Spindle.
- Apply an Axis Mate between hole on Pinion-2 and hole on Spindle.
- Place Locking Pin in the Assembly and fix it inside the hole of Pinion using Insert Mate.
- Place Pinion-1 in the Assembly.
- Align the Pinion-1 to match it with the Frame.
- Apply a Mate Constraint between Axis of Frame and Axis of Pinion-1.
- Select Pinion-1, Pinion-2 and Gear, then right click in the design window, choose ‘Isolate’ from the context menu.
- Set the Browser from Assembly view to Modeling View.
- Locate the Intersection Point of Pinion-2 inside the Browser Bar.
- Apply a Mate Constraint between the Intersection Point of Pinion-2 and Intersection Point of Gear.
- In the same manner, apply a Mate Constraint between the Intersection Point of Pinion-2 and the Intersection Point of Pinion-1.
- Activate Motion Constraint; first select the Axis of Pinion-1 and afterward the Axis of Gear.
- Enter the value 15/56 in the Ratio Input box and click Apply.
- Apply same step as above to give motion constraint between Pinion-2 and Gear.
- Right click in the design window, choose Undo Isolate from the context menu.
