Assembly CreateJointScrew

Description

The Assembly CreateJointScrew tool creates a screw joint (helical joint) that couples the translation of a part of a slider joint and the rotation of a part of a revolute joint. In connection with the already existing joints this joint can be used to simulate a lead screw gear.

Usage

  1. Optionally select two geometric entities of two different shapes that have previously been used to define a Slider joint and a Revolute joint.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Create Screw Joint button.
    • Select the Assembly → Create Screw Joint option from the menu.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: W.
  3. The Create Joint dialog opens in the Task panel listing the pre-selected entities.
  4. For further steps see Assembly CreateJointFixed.

Notes

  • Pitch radius refers to the pitch of a (lead) screw. It is stored in Distance and defines the translation per one turn of the screw.

Properties

A Screw object is derived from an App FeaturePython object and inherits all its properties. See Assembly CreateJointFixed for additional properties.
