Mates flipping over

Mates flipping over

(OP)
Hello all,
I have some limit mates set up on cylinders for the retracted and extended length.  However, if I keep pulling it will flip the mates over.  Basically flipping the rod and the body opposite of each other.  How can I prevent this while keeping the limit mates?

Thanks,
BB

RE: Mates flipping over

Unfortunately, that's par for the course.  When I get into that situation, I usually just drive the motion with configs.
