Linearly Coupled Motion Ratio

The ratio of the coupled linear motion is the ratio of the linear displacement of the first mated component to that of the second mated component. Displacement is measured relative to the reference component. You can define this ratio when you define a linear/linear coupler mate for linearly coupled motion.

Specify the coupled motion ratio when you specify linear/linear coupler mates in the Mates PropertyManager.

Specifies the displacement of the first mated component along its direction of motion.
Specifies the displacement of the the second mated component along its direction of motion when the first mated component is displaced by the distance you specify in the first ratio entry.
The ratio is computed as the quotient of the two relative displacements. In this example, for every millimeter of displacement of the first mated component in its direction of motion, the second mated component is displaced two millimeters in its direction of motion.
