ANIMATED MECHANICAL PARTS

PICK A PART, PRESS ADD

Pick a tool in the gallery, press Add, and its settings stay in the panel while it moves.

• Spring: stretches, sags and bounces between two objects
• Cable: rope, wire rope or chain, simulated on play
• Gear: spur, helical, bevel and ring, spokes or holes
• Piston: crank, rod and piston, turned any way
• Hydraulic: five cylinder types between two mounts
• Belt: roller chain, timing belt and seven conveyor types
• Screw: 10 heads, 6 drives, 7 nuts that run along
• Link Gears: drives your own imported gear meshes

ONE TURN DRIVES THE MACHINE

A gear pair, a chain, a crank, a piston and a spring, all running from one Motor setting.

STRETCH IT, THEN LET IT BOUNCE

The coils stay fixed, so pulling an end opens the pitch. Dynamics adds weight and bounce within 0.6% of Hooke's law.

CLOSED, OPEN OR HOOKED

End Closed and End Hooks set each end on its own.

IT HANGS, SWINGS AND DRAPES

Pick any mesh as the Collision Object and the cable drapes over it, with friction.

ROPE, WIRE ROPE OR CHAIN

Strands, Wires and Chain change the shape, and End Knots tie an eye knot or a crimped Ferrule Eye at either end.

ADD ONE BESIDE ANOTHER AND IT MESHES

Zero tooth penetration down to 8 teeth. Motor sets the rpm, and its tooltip says how many frames make a clean loop.

YOUR OWN GEARS, LINKED

Link Gears reads imported gear meshes, including ring, bevel, worm, planetary and rack and pinion, and drives them from the active one.

SPOKES, HOLES OR A DISHED WEB

Web Type cuts the web, and Tooth Form makes the gear helical, herringbone, bevel or a ring.

CRANK, ROD AND PISTON

Rings, a hollow pin and a split big end. Turn the crank with keys, a parent, a gear train or the Motor.

A CYLINDER BETWEEN TWO MOUNTS

The barrel and rod aim at each other as the mounts move, in five Hydraulic Types.

CLEVIS, EYE OR SPHERICAL

Paint the body and the rod, pins and bushings keep their own materials.

CHAINS, BELTS AND CONVEYORS

B turns at the belt ratio, and scaling a pulley changes its Radius in the panel.

NINE BELT TYPES

Roller chain, timing belt, flat, chevron, cleated, modular, slat, wire mesh and roller conveyor.

NUTS THAT RUN ALONG THE THREAD

Add Nut puts one on the screw, and 60 rpm moves it exactly one lead per second.

10 HEADS, 6 DRIVES, 7 NUTS

Pick them from menus and each is sized to the thread's diameter.

NO SCRIPT RUNS AT RENDER TIME

Motion runs on drivers, constraints and simulation zones, so it works with Python auto-run off. Parts take your own material slots and carry UV maps, so image textures sit right, and everything lands in one MechFlow collection.
