Assembly question, angled flange onto a collar
Assembly question, angled flange onto a collar
(OP)
I am mounting a flange onto a body and am having some issues. I can set the distance from the flange to the end of the unit (0.062") but I can't get it concentric with the angled end. I have made a SLPRT from the current ASSY so people know what I am talking about. What mates should I be concentrating on here.

RE: Assembly question, angled flange onto a collar
Anyway, there are other methods to mating things concentric other than mating faces concentric. You can create an axis in each part and then mate the axes coincident. You can use the base planes or create new ones and mate those coincident or parallel. Many of these mating methods are more robust than selecting faces and mating them.
That being said, you may want to try to do the concentric mate before the distance mate (or suppress the distance mate). you may find that your face that you are using in the distance mate is not perpendicular to your axis of concentricity. If that is the case, do your distance mate with an edge or a point.

If the axis trick doesn't work, how are the 2 cylindrical faces being created? One might have a taper causing an issue.

I re-created the parts with matching angles and was able to add all the mates required.
