What Is A Cotter Joint?• Cotter joints are the joints made with the help of cotter.• Cotter joint is a flat wedge shaped piece of steel.

• cotter is used to connect rigidly two rods which transmit motion in the axial direction, without rotation.
• These joints may be subjected to tensile or compressive forces along the axes of the rods.
• Examples of cotter joint connections are: connection of piston rod to the crosshead of a steam engine, valve rod and its stem etc.

• Cotter joint contains has mainly three components…
1. Socket2. Spigot3. cotter

• In cotter joint there are two pipes having connection with the help of cotter.
• One of the rods has a socket end into which the other rod is inserted.
• the cotter is driven into a slot, made in both the socket and the rod. The cotter tapers in width (usually 1:24)* on one side of it.

Applications of cotter joint
• Joint between the piston rod and the cross head of a steam engine.
• Joint between the slide spindle and the fork of valve mechanism.
• Joint between the piston rod and the tail and pump rod
• Foundation bolt

Knuckle Joint

What is a knuckle joint?• The knuckle joint is used to connect two rods under tensile
load.• This joint permits angular misalignment of the rods and may
take compressive load if it is guided.

Knuckle joint
![Page 12: Cotter and knuckle joint](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061516/587171121a28ab58758b7863/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• These joints are used for different types of connections e.g. tie rods, tension links in bridge structure. In this, one of the rods has an eye at the rod end and,
• The other one is forked with eyes at both the legs. A pin (knuckle pin) is inserted through the rod-end eye and fork-end eyes and is secured by a collar and a split pin.

Application of knuckle joint
• Joints between the tie bars in a roof trusses.• Between the links of suspension bridge.• In valve mechanism of a reciprocating engine.• Fulcrum for the levers.• Joints between the links of a bicycle chain.
