What was the two purpose of providing clearance in cotter joint?

The two main purposes of providing clearance in a cotter joint are to facilitate easy assembly and disassembly of the joint components and to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction of the materials. This clearance ensures that the cotter pin can be inserted or removed without excessive force, thereby preventing damage to the joint. Additionally, it allows for movement and flexibility, reducing stress concentrations that could lead to failure.

Why gibs use for cotter joint?

Gibs are used in cotter joints to provide a secure connection between two components while allowing for easy assembly and disassembly. They help to accommodate slight misalignments and ensure that the joint can handle tensile and compressive loads effectively. Additionally, gibs enhance the overall strength and stability of the joint, making it suitable for various mechanical applications where reliable performance is essential.

What is the defference between key and cotter?

A key is generally driven parallel to the shaft whereas a cotter is driven perpendicular to the shaft. A key is subjected to torsion whereas a cotter is subjected to tensile and compressive forces. A key resists shear over a longitudinal section whereas a cotter resists shear over two transverse sections. A key joint is used to transmit a positive drive b/w two rotating parts whereas a cotter joint is used to transmit axial pull or push b/w to rods and they DO NOT rotate.
