Hello Marco. Good News - I was able to get your mechanism to work! 
I downloaded your parts and assemblies and converted your assembly constraints into Kinematic Joints. As you said, it created a mechanism with 2 DOF.
(some of the parts were missing in the link rod product, so I replaced it with a new link rod part).
I replaced one of the Spherical Joints with a Universal Joint. This eliminated the rod from rotating on it's axis and left only 1 DOF. (see attachment)
I made one of the Revolute Joints "Angle Driven" and then I was able to simulate the mechanism.
