What are the applications of a cotter joint?
A cotter joint is used to support the axial load between two coaxial rods, which are the tensile and compressive loads. Although a cotter joint will resist the rotation of one-rod relatives to the other, it should not be used to join a rotating shaft.
Which one of the following is the example of cotter joint application?
These joints may be subjected to tensile or compressive forces along the axes of the rods. Examples of cotter joint connections are the connection of piston rod to the crosshead of a steam engine, piston rods and its extension as a tail of the pump rods valve rod, and its stem, etc.
What are the advantages of cotter joint?
ADVANTAGES OF COTTER JOINT: Assembling and dismantling of cotter joints parts are quick and easy and doesn’t require special efforts. The assembly involves the joining of the two rods ends by means of this joint ; which later hammered so that the rods are drawn together and tightened.
What are the applications of knuckle joint?
Application:
- Tie rod joint of roof truss.
- Tension link in bridge structure.
- Link of roller chain.
- Tie rod joint of jib crane.
- The knuckle joint is also used in tractor.
- Connecting rods between locomotive wheels.
Which one of the following is not an application of cotter joint?
Which of the following is not a part of cotter joint? Explanation: There is no point of mentioning collar alone in a cotter joint. It has to be a spigot collar or socket collar. 5.
Which joint is used in bicycle chain?
Mostly knuckle joints are employed in connecting rods of locomotive wheels. In addition, they are very useful in the valve mechanism of a reciprocating engine. These are utilized in the link of roller chain, bicycle chain, and chain straps of watches.
Which of following is not an application of cotter joint?
Which material is used for cotter joint?
plain carbon steel
The material selected for cotter joint is plain carbon steel of Grade 30C8 which is having (Syt=400N/mm2), so that cotter joint will fail above (Syt=400N/mm2). By the calculation, we found that maximum force applied is 50KN.
What are the elements required for socket and spigot cotter joint?
Cotter Joint has mainly three components – spigot, socket and cotter as shown in Figure 9.1. Spigot is formed on one of the rods and socket is formed on the other. The socket and the spigot are provided with a narrow rectangular slot. The cotter is tightly fitted in this slot.
What is example of knuckle joint?
A knuckle Joint is a mechanical component that is used to join the two components under tensile loads. It is also known as the Forked pin joint. For example Tractor and trolley. The trolley is being attached to the tractor with the help of a knuckle joint.
Which material is used for knuckle joint?
Knuckle joints are made up of cast iron and stainless steel. With the advancements in the field of polymers, Teflon can be used for knuckle joints also.
Which is an example of a knuckle joint?
What is the purpose of a cotter joint?
Cotter joints are used to support axial loads between the two rods, tensile or compressive. Although a cotter joint will resist rotation of one rod relative to the other, it should not be used to join rotating shafts.
How do you use a cotter joint on a rod?
Slots in the socket and the spigot align so that a cotter can be inserted to lock the two rods together. The cotter used within a cotter joint is typically an elongated wedge, which can be driven into the slots. Cotter joints are used to support axial loads between the two rods, tensile or compressive.
What is the use of Cotter joint in steam engine?
Cotter joint is widely used to connect the piston rod and crosshead of a steam engine, as a joint between the piston rod and the tailor pump rod, foundation bolt etc. Cotter Joint has mainly three components – spigot, socket and cotter as shown in Figure 9.1.
How to design basic cotter joints in practical view?
For design of a basic cotter joints in practical view , a classic design procedure made to follow in the practical approach . So, a design procedure was made on the basis of certain experiments . The design procedure given below : 2. Calculate the thickness of the cotter by empirical relationship given by :
