Mates Types in SolidWorks
3 categories of mates types in SolidWorks:
Standard
AdvancedMechanicalSlide3
Coincident mate
.
Locates the selected faces, edges, points or planes so they use the same
infinite line/plane.
A Coincident mate positions two vertices for contact. Slide4
Example:
Coincident mate
: positions two vertices for contact.
Note: The Icon feedback symbol in SolidWorks for a Face, Edge, vertex, etc. Slide5

Parallel mate
:
Locates selected
items to lie in parallel planes
Allows only
translation and rotation that
keeps the selected items parallel
.Slide6
Perpendicular mate
Locates selected items at a
90
deg angle to each other.
allows both translation & rotation of one part with respect to another. Slide7
Tangent
mate
Places selected items tangent to each other.
At least one selected item must be either a
conical, cylindrical, spherical face.Slide8
Concentric
mate
Locates selected items so they can share the
same center point.
Note: sometimes we want to prevent rotation in a concentric mate (e.g. putting a cam on a shaft).
Just check “Lock Rotation” option in the mate property manager.Slide9
Distance
mate
Locates selected items with
specified distance between them.
Use drop-down arrow box or enter dist value directly.Slide10
Advanced
mates
Distance mate
(Limit mate)
. allow components to move within a range of values for distance and angle. Distance. Locates the selected items with a specified distance between them. Angle. Locates the selected items at the specified angle to each other. Slide11
Angle
mate
Locates selected items at specified angle to each other.
Use drop-down arrow box or enter angle value directly.Slide12

Mechanical
mates
Cam mate
. Forces plane, cylinder, or point to be tangent or coincident to a series of tangent extruded faces. Create Cam profile from lines, arcs, and splines that
are tangent and form a closed loop.
SW: a
type of tangent or coincident mate.
mate cylinder
, plane, or
point
to
series
of tangent extruded
faces (like on a cam).
Figure: 3 followers stay
in contact with
cam
as it rotates. Slide14
Cam mate
eg
Cam mate:
Cam profile MUST be a series of TANGENT extruded faces that form a closed loop.Cam Profile Can Be:LinesArcs
SplinesCam follower: portion to be mated must be Cylindrical facePlanar faceVertexSlide15
Hinge
mate
Limits movement between 2 components to 1 rotational
dof.
Equiv to Concentric + Coincident. (can also limit angular movement between components).Slide16
Gear mate
Make 2 components rotate relative to each other, around selected axes.
establish gear type relations between components without making components physically mesh.
Align components before adding Mechanical gear mate.Can simulate BELT separate gears spatially and select Reverse
to change direction of rotation of output gear.Slide17
Gear & pulley examples
Adapted from Lego siteSlide18
Compound belt drivers
Pulleys at an angle – change rotation direction
- driver gear at 90
deg
to follower.
direction of rotation changes 90
deg
when driver is turned.
This
eg
also shows a gearing down arrangement - driver pulley < follower.
