Mate to use for a Clock Escapement Yoke to Pendulum Movement

david_carter416

Stuck with trying to get an assembly to work with a pedulum to escapment yoke interaction.
The image shows the green yoke with a slot that the pedulum shaft must ride in to control the motion of the escapement.
Green Yoke fixed to brass shaft that rotates though frame with escapement fixed to same shaft on other side of back frame.
Pendulum pivots on pendulum hanger as shown. Pendulum must drive the green yoke pushing from side to side.
Any help appreciated

sometimes it helps to make some extra surface geometry that you hide then use a tangent mate on the hidden surfaces.

Sorted it Tangent mate was the answer with the additional problem I believe with the straight cut slot not allowing pedulum shaft to move in an arc. Faces rounded and it works!
The tangent mate is new to me and a little bit misleading as no mates used!
Is it possible to upload animation movies?

Glad it worked! Tangent is definitely different than the other mate types. you can create a .gif screen recording and it will work here in the forum.
