Use the 'Gear Relation' in the assembly to link the revolute mates together
its posible tu create a gear with 2 DOF…. But its no possible for 3 DOF….
And how can i animate the “ gear” relation?? Thanks
Not sure if this is what you mean

If all it is is making them all turn the same way at the same time, the Gear relation is your tool as @GWS50 said. If you just want to check that the extremes of motion don't collide with anything as you work, Named Positions is probably an easier way to go. Just set them up once and click through them to make sure it's working. Onshape isn't currently made for complex animations, but if you are really determined, you can get it to do what you want using some workarounds which are well demonstrated by @john_mcclary in a video here.
