Mechanical actuator assembly in Kangaroo

[Baris]

Hi everyone,
I am trying to make a simple mechanical assembly in Kangaroo(first steps) that rotates a table(the HSS) with help of an actuator:

1. is the actuator movement
2. is the rotation axis
   
   

I tried it with the following set up:

I dont know how to connect the actuator with its arm to give it the correct movement vector and freedom.

Thanks for everyone looking at this!

I added a collinear goal for the actuator and the piston.

You can use the grab component to move parts in the Rhino viewport.

I’ll try to get your initial solution going …

In this definition, you can set the length of the actuator.
