Solidworks Mate

Hi all!

Using Solidworks I want to give screw motion to an
assembly but I cannot achieve it yet!

In the picture Part 1 is mated with the shaft (Part 3)
using "Concentric" and "Coincident" mates. Part 2 is
mated with the shaft only using "Concentric" mate. Now, I
want the half cylinder (part 5) fixed on the part 1 to
follow the other cylinder noted as part 4 like as the
below picture.

When I rotate the part 1, part 5 will touch and push part
2 with the help of part 4 as in the below video. I
captured the video using "Physical Dynamics" defining it
between Part 4 and Part 5. (link for image if not seen

But I want to do this using mates. Can you help me? If
needed, I can put drawings modeled using SW2008. Thanks
for answers.
