multiple disks on a common axle--mating with clearance

I'm not sure how I'm intended to link to an example assembly. Here?
The question is about any of the axial matings. For plain disks, I've just mated each disk to the next one, which seems to work (in that case, they were axially locked anyway).
The disks in the above example have cams and obviously the cams stand proud of the disk itself. I can't have the disks mate face to face--I need the matings to be spaced along the axle. One idea I've had is to create axle bosses and mate them to each other again. It seems like there must be a better way. I know there's a way to create mate points. Maybe I should create mate points along the axle and mate a disk to each one?
The disks will be spaced evenly if that helps. Maybe I can do a division thing similar to a bolt hole circle but linearly?

Hi @david_rysdam as you mention in your post one approach is to use mate connectors, go to parts studio (Axle) and sketch the points were you want you connectors to be and the add the mates to the part; go to assembly and mate your disc in the appropriate mate.
You can also use the offset command in the mates.Nicolas Ariza V.
