How to rotate a spur gear round it's axis

[KarolR]

I used the Spur Gear Design Accelerator and made 2 gears, now i want to rotate one of them round it's axis.

If i use the Rotate Component command it rotates, in space, the gear, not round anything

If created with Spur Gear Design Accelerator they should rotate when one of them is simply dragged with the mouse.

Does this work.

 

To run as though there is a motor attached -

Create a Directed Angle Constraint between an origin plane going through the axis of the pinion gear and a workplane going through the axis of the shaft or hole it rotates.

Now right click on the constraint and select Drive Constraint and enter the number of degrees you want it to rotate.

 

Attach your assembly here if you can't figure it out.
