why what type of material is used?which are the manufacturing companies?what are its standard dimension?


Cotter joint

These types of joints are used to connect the end of a rod or bar to a shaft. The end of the bar has a hole in it and it is called a lug. The hole carries a shaft. This shaft is locked in place by a smaller pin that passes through the side of the lug and partly or completely through the shaft itself. This locking pin is named a cotter, which sometimes is also applied to the whole joint.

The obvious example is on a bicycle where both pedal bars are separately locked by a cotter pin, on their common driving shaft having the sprocket wheel.

Steel is the most common material used for this application. There are no specific manufacturing companies who make only cotter pins, nor are there any dimensional standards by which they are designed.

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.

How much Brazing filler material quantity per joint?

The amount of brazing filler material needed per joint depends on factors such as joint design, material thickness, and the type of brazing process used. As a general guideline, a 3:1 ratio of filler material to joint thickness is a good starting point. It's recommended to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and perform test runs to determine the optimal amount of filler material for each specific application.


Show the pictures of cotter joints?

A cotter joint is one that is used to hold parts that might turn, as in an axle or a drive shaft. For example, on a child's wagon, the axles have a hole in each outside end. This hole is for a cotter pin (it looks similar to a bobby pin for the hair), that helps to keep the wheel on while the wheel is turning.
