Mating Process for a mechanical CAM Clutch

Koko Katanjian Dec 15, 2014 6:27 PM

Ok so for work i am in need of the simulation of a mechanical cam clutch simulated for an animation. for those who don't know what a mechanical cam clutch is, it is basically a big socket wrench bearing made to only allow shafts to spin one direction, and lock up when spinning the other direction.

how would i go about mating a bearing that acts like that

TL;DR: i need to simulate a socket wrench movement, what do?

if you need to animate it, don't try to simulate it, just setup motors, keys...etc to make it move the way you want

if you really want to simulate it, you'll need to model all of the elements and simulate it
