Rotating mate around moving axis in Onshape
Dear Onshape community, we have come across a difficult mating assembly that we are having trouble working out. We need a bevel gear to rotate about a stationary Z axis as well as an axis defined by it's center. (to simulate the smaller gear "walking" around in a circle around the larger, stationary gear. Thanks for your help! and Wash Your Hands!

One between the pinion and lower gear, and another for the upper gear.
I couldn't get the pinion to rotate freely on my phone. You may have too many have it over mated. Or my phone is slow... I can look at it closer when I get on my computer
