Hi,

I'm making a pipe wrench in creo parametric 1.0, but i don't know how to assemble the parts(which mechanism joint to use) so that when you turn the adjuster on the pipe wrench it will raise/ lower the vice part of the wrench.

Thanks

included a picture below to help visualise what I mean

Hi,

1:Try using gear-generic. you can connect turning motion of wrench with up/down of adjuster. You just add ratio. See something similar here in middle of video http://communities.ptc.com/videos/2676

2:Or you can draw helix and use it so adjuster moves atached to helix (simulates thread) so when you turn wrench it has to go up/down (just make sure turn axis of wrench is axis of pipe).

Cheers
