Air Cylinders Movement
Air Cylinders Movement
(OP)
Hello Everyone
I'm working on assembly which has a bar attached at the top of two air cylinders. The air cylinders are 24.75" apart. My problem is that I can get the one air cylinder to move with the bar but, not the second one. SolidWorks states that the assembly is overmated if, I add a second mate for the bar to attach the second air cylinder. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong. Cheers.

Unless this has changed, you couldn't bring in two instances of the same floating configuration and have them move normally, even if they're moving the same direction/distance.
