# RelativeJoint2D

> Keeps two Rigidbody2D at their relative orientations.

## Definition

* **Type:** Class
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.Physics2DModule
* **Inherits from:** [Joint2D](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/joint2d.md)

```csharp
public sealed class RelativeJoint2D : Joint2D
```

## Remarks

Two [Rigidbody2D](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/rigidbody2d.md) connected together with this joint will have forces applied to them to keep them both at their relative linear and angular offsets.  If the joint is not connected to another [Rigidbody2D](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/rigidbody2d.md) then the body with the joint will stay at its current linear and angular offset in world-space i.e. it will be anchored to the implicit static ground-body.

You control the maximum linear force applied to maintain the [RelativeJoint2D.linearOffset](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/relativejoint2d/linearoffset.md) by using [RelativeJoint2D.maxForce](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/relativejoint2d/maxforce.md).

You control the maximum torque applied to maintain the [RelativeJoint2D.angularOffset](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/relativejoint2d/angularoffset.md) by using [RelativeJoint2D.maxTorque](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/relativejoint2d/maxtorque.md)
