# SCNPhysicsSliderJoint

A physics behavior that connects two bodies and allows them to slide against each other and rotate around their connecting points.

## Declaration

```swift
class SCNPhysicsSliderJoint
```

## Overview

Overview A slider joint can have zero, one, or two degrees of freedom depending on whether you allow it to slide or rotate. You can also use a slider joint to pin a body so that it can move only by sliding a specific axis in the coordinate space of the node containing it. You can also use a slider joint as a motor, applying a force or torque to the bodies it connects.
