What are the main mechanical mates used in SOLIDWORKS?

The main mechanical mates used in SOLIDWORKS are:

• Coincident: Aligns two faces, edges, or vertices.
• Concentric: Aligns the central axes of two cylindrical or circular faces.
• Distance: Maintains a specific distance between two faces, edges, or vertices.
• Parallel: Aligns two faces or edges to be parallel.
• Perpendicular: Aligns two faces or edges to be perpendicular.
• Tangent: Aligns a face to be tangent to a curved surface.

These mates help you position and constrain components within an assembly, ensuring the desired relationships and functionality.
