There are a bunch of tutorials out there. Just search YouTube for "C4D rigging tutorial". Some are better at certain things than others, so just try watching a number of them.
The main thing to know is that joints/bones work with vertex weight. Vertex weight is "painted" onto the model, and every bone has its own set of weight on each model. The more weight the bone has on a vertex, the more it moves with it. (Ideally, you want the total weight from all bones to equal 100% at each point.) For metal objects like what you're working with, you want weights to either be 100% or 0%.
