ASSEMBLY OF ROTARY FEEDER

An Assembly is comprised of one or more Solid Works Parts or Assemblies, and is used to model

relationships between these subcomponents or subassemblies using relationships called Mates.

You can build complex assemblies consisting of many components, which can be parts or other

assemblies, called subassemblies. or most operations, the beha!ior of components is the same

for both types. Adding a component to an assembly creates a link between the assembly and the

component. When S"#$%W"&'S opens the assembly, it finds the component file to show it in

the assembly. (hanges in the component are automatically reflected in the assembly.

)he eature Manager design tree displays these items for assemblies*

• )op+le!el assembly the first item-

• arious folders, for example, Annotations and Mates

• Assembly planes and origin

• (omponents subassemblies and indi!idual parts-

• Assembly features cuts or holes- and component patterns

You can expand or collapse each component to !iew its details by clicking beside the

component name. )o collapse all the items in the tree, right+click anywhere in the tree and select

(ollapse $tems.

You can use the same component multiple times within an assembly. or each occurrence of thecomponent in the assembly, the suffix /n0 is incremented.

$n the eature Manager design tree, a component name can ha!e a prefix that pro!ides

information about the state of its relationships to other components. )he prefixes are*

+- 1nder defined

2- "!er defined

f- ixed

3- 4ot sol!ed

)he absence of a prefix indicates that the component5s position is fully defined. See Mate 6rrorsfor information about mate symbols and error messages.

$n )op+down design, parts7 shapes, si8es, and locations can be designed in the assembly. or

example*

• You can model a motor bracket so it is always the correct si8e to hold a motor, e!en if

you mo!e the motor. S"#$%W"&'S automatically resi8es the motor bracket. )his

capability is particularly helpful for parts like brackets, fixtures, and housings, whose

purpose is largely to hold other parts in their correct positions. You can also use top+down

design on certain features such as locating pins- of otherwise bottom+up parts.

• )he design of photocopier can be laid out in a layout sketch, whose elements represent

the pulleys, drums, belts, and other components of the photocopier. You create the 9%

components based on this sketch. As you mo!e or resi8e elements in the sketch,

S"#$%W"&'S automatically mo!es or resi8es the 9% components in the assembly. )he

speed and flexibility of the sketch allows you to try se!eral !ersions of the design before

building any 9% geometry, and to make many types of changes in one central location.

)he ad!antage of top+down design is that much less rework is needed when design changes

occur. )he parts know how to update themsel!es based on the way you created them.

You can use top+down design techni:ues on certain features of a part, complete parts, or entire

assemblies. $n practice, designers typically use top+down techni:ues to lay out their assemblies

and to capture key aspects of custom parts specific to their assemblies.

Mates create geometric relationships between assembly components. As you add mates, you

define the allowable directions of linear or rotational motion of the components. You can mo!e a

component within its degrees of freedom, !isuali8ing the assembly7s beha!ior.

Some examples include*

• A coincident mate forces two planar faces to become coplanar. )he faces can mo!e along

one another, but cannot be pulled apart.

• A concentric mate forces two cylindrical faces to become concentric. )he faces can mo!e

along the common axis, but cannot be mo!ed away from this axis.

Mates are sol!ed together as a system. )he order in which you add mates does not matter; all

mates are sol!ed at the same time. You can suppress mates

ully defined sketch

&edundant perpendicular relation added. Sketch is still fully defined

&edundant dimension added. Sketch is o!er defined.

&obustness andPerformance

Mate components to a common component for optimum performance.


5/12

&obustness 1se face+to+face mates, if your design intent permits, because they tend to be

more robust and predictable.

Performance 1se subassemblies to limit the number of top+le!el mates. )he application

sol!es all top le!el mates whene!er it rebuilds an assembly.

(lick Assembly 6xpert )ools toolbar- to display assembly statistics.

6fficiency when

adding mates • 1se mate references if your models use similar components that you

need to replace regularly. (lick Mate &eference &eference

=eometry toolbar- and set the mates.

• 1se Smart Mates.

Types of Mates

1 Standard Mates

Standard mates include angle, coincident, concentric, distance, lock, parallel, perpendicular, and

tangent mates.

2 Ad!anced Mates

Ad!anced mates include limit, linear>linear coupler, path, symmetry, and width mates.

3 Mechanical Mates

Mechanical mates include cam+follower, gear, hinge, rack and pinion, screw, and uni!ersal

irst of all the basic component is to be imported in the solid works assembly program after that

rest of the parts can be inserted in the assembly one by one as in this assembly of feeder co!er is

done by

$n this sub assembly of the rotary feeder this is ha!ing the name of feeder hopper as in this )he

drawing is consist of feeder hopper and feeder chute these parts of rotary feeder are

)his subassembly of the rotary feeder. $n this assembly there !ery small components are used but

all the components used in in this assembly plays an important role to work the feeder at it

maximum capacity because this the only part which hold the feeder at different angle so that it

can fill up the tanks in cement handling plant at its maximum efficiency in order to ser!e the

plants the small parts used in the holding rod bearing, bearing cap , shaft, bush bearing, and the

holding bar which is connected the feeder chute

E!LODED VIE" OF FEEDER HOER ASSEMBLY


11/12

An exploded !iew shows an assembly7s components spread out, but positioned to show how they

fit together when assembled. You create exploded !iews by selecting and dragging parts in the

graphics area, creating one or more explode steps. $n exploded !iews you can*

6!enly space exploded stacks of components hardware, washers, and so on-.

&adially explode components about an axis.

%rag and auto+space multiple components.

Attach a new component to the existing explode steps of another component. )his is useful if

you add a new part to an assembly that already has an exploded !iew.

$f a subassembly has an exploded !iew, reuse that !iew in a higher+le!el assembly.

Add explode lines to indicate component relationships.

While an assembly is exploded, you cannot add mates to the assembly.
