I can show you example, but you must read HELP before asking so simple questions!
BTW, I work in SW2015, so the following images will help you.

This video show you what we'll have https://youtu.be/kEXS4TJeSi8

1. Step 1:

   What we have?
   1) GEAR
   2) SHAFT
   

   

2. Step 2:

   1st mates:
   Inner cylindrical face of the gear
   +
   Outer cylindrical face of the shaft
   

   

3. Step 3:

   2nd mates:
   Two similar planes, e.g. RIGHT plane of GEAR & RIGHT plane of SHAFT
   

   

4. Step 4:

   3rd mates:
   The distance between the 2 faces

   Now you can move gear horizontally in the shaft (changing the distance) and then rotate the gear by rotating the shaft
   

   

5. Step 5:

   4th mates:
   Gear mates make yourself.
