LEARN THE IMPORTANT OF COTTER AND KNUKLE JOINTS

Описание: A Cotter and Knuckle joint is a type of mechanical connection used to join two rotating shafts. They are commonly used in a variety of applications, such as machinery, vehicles, and construction equipment.

A Cotter joint is a type of joint that uses a split pin or cotter pin to hold two parts together. The cotter pin is inserted through holes in both parts and is then spread out, or "cottered," to secure the joint. The joint can be easily disassembled by removing the cotter pin.

A Knuckle joint, also known as a Pin and Block joint, uses a cylindrical pin to connect two parts. The pin is inserted into a hole in one part and then into a matching hole in the other part, forming a hinge-like connection that allows the two parts to rotate relative to each other.

Both types of joints are designed to transmit torque and rotational motion from one shaft to another while allowing some degree of movement between the parts. The design of the joint must take into account the loads and stresses that will be acting on the joint, as well as the materials used and any environmental factors that may impact its performance.
