It's just a cam follower. To Tim's point/question - is your goal to simulate the dynamics of your system, or simply create an animation of how it is supposed to operate? Your answer to this will have a significant influence on the approach you take to solve your problem. If it is a true dynamic simulation you wish to conduct, you will need to create a proper cam-pair to have it behave properly ...or you could also define a limit to the slider joint with a CoR to have it rebound as it would with real hardware.
