Gears

Double Wheel Joint
Use a Double Wheel Joint combination to connect the two (or more) gears together. Any direct rotational rotational relation is possible to create, even with a rotation scale factor, an inversion or a change of axis.

Pully

Double Wheel Joint
A pully system is created with a Double Wheel Joint combination to connect the two (or more) pullies together. Any direct rotational rotational relation is possible to create, even with a rotation scale factor, an inversion or a change of axis.

Motor

Double Wheel Joint
To add a motor to a mechanical rig, a Double Wheel Joint is used to transfer the rotational motion (f.e. a stepper motor) to a GameObject (f.e. a gear). Any direct rotational rotational relation is possible to create, even with a rotation scale factor, an inversion or a change of axis.

  • Rotational relation
    Whenever you want to have a ‘simple’ rotation an object around a fixed axis a Double Wheel Joint can be used. Any direct rotational relation is possible even with a rotation scale factor, inversion or change of axis. For example when making use of gears, motors, pullies and hinges.

  • Linear relation
    Whenever you want to have a ‘simple’ linear movement over a fixed axis a Double Prismatic Joint can be used. Any direct linear relation is possible even with a scale factor, inversion or change of axis. For example when creating a extracting piston, pusher or linear servo.

  • Rotational - Linear relation
    Any direct relation between a rotational movement and a linear movement is possible by combining the Double Wheel Joint with the Double Prismatic Joint. For example in a Rack and Pinion construction.

  • Crane / Robotarm piston
    When a piston is used to control a hinged arm f.e. in a mechanical robot-arm or a crane, Prespective provides the Double Bar Linkage Solver solution. The solver takes into account that the extracting piston itself will rotate when extracting/subtracting; and this way applying rotational motion to the Robot- or Crane arm.




    ALPHA FEATURES! (WIP)
    When the mechanical rig is more complex a specific ‘complex’ joint or solver can be used. Some examples of more complex relations are shown here:

  • Crank relation
    When a piston is applied in a situation to drive a rotation, for example in a combustion engine construction, a more complex kinematic rig is required. Prespective provides the Double Crank Slider solution (Alpha feature!)
