ParallelGears4 3D• ParallelGears4[cnum, axis1, rad1, {alpha, guess}, axis2, rad2, C] models a gear set. • This constraint is identical to ParallelGears5 except that the heads of the two axes are not constrained to be adjacent. Thus, the two gears can slide on their axes, relative to each other. • ParallelGears4 constrains four degrees of freedom. • ParallelGears4 is essentially ParallelGears5 with the third equation dropped. • See also: OrthogonalGears5, Parallel2, SetConstraints, SetSymbols, SysCon.
