Constrained rotation based on Force

[Rooooij3d]

Hi all,

Its probably very easy to do but im a bit stuck :/

Im trying to create an an effect where the particles dont move and only rotate on one axis based on a force. 
something like the image attached. 

I tried using travel direction and resetting the position but I cant really the desired result as travel direction wont let me constrain to one axis. 

anyone have an idea ?

Not sure if I fully understand...

Is this maybe a solution?

Thanks for your help!

I cant open the file ( stil on 2022 ) but I think this is not quite what im after.

I hand animated the effect im looking for, the particles should only rotate on their Z axis. Like a weather vane basically. 

Im trying to visualise a curl noise pattern with a lot of these rectangle shapes.

Edit : I spoke to soon! :] I recreated the your screengrab and this is basically what im looking for, thanks again!
