Clearances between the cotter and slots in the rod end and socket allows the driven cotter to draw together the two parts of the joint until the socket end comes in contact with the cotter on the rod end.

Cotter joint is used transmit which type of loads?

Cotter Joint is used to transmit Axial Forces..... ie tensile force.


What are the examples of cotter joint?

*joint between the piston rod and and the crosshead of the steam engine *joint between the slide spindle and the fork of the valve mechanism *joint between the piston rod and the tail


What is Gib and cotter joint?

A gib is a sacrificial piece that can be replaced once worn, allowing a joint to function correctly. e.g. Calipers have gibs (Copper strips) which allow the measuring head to tranverse the scale keeping the jaws parallel.


Socket and spigot cotter joint?

socket and spigot cotter joint is an attachment of 2 rods in such a way that it can transfer axial compression or tensile load. for a very simple construction socket can be considered as a hollow pipe having one side solid and the other hollow. while the spigot is a solid rod. the solid spigot is nearly of the size of the internal radii of the socket where it can fit. once they 're fit, consider that a rectangular cavity of tapering constuction through both the parts, i.e., spigot and socket. cotter is a rectangular wedge shaped mild steel block that is inserted in the above mentioned cavity.... the whole assembly is the one u r lookin for...


Where do we use sleeve and cotter joint?

It is used in the connection of piston rod to the cross head of the steam engine, In the foundation bolt, Connecting two halves of fly wheel, Joining of tail rod with piston rod of a wet air pump

Where do you use cotter joint?

A cotted joint is usually wedge shaped and is generally used to coonect two rods rigidly.


How do you get the bolt on the ball joint to stay on it keeps coming loose?

install a cotter pin in the hole in the shaft of the ball joint


Where failure will occur in cotter joint?

When the axial loads(Tensile/Compressive) will rise above the strength of specially designed socket , spigot and cotter. The failure may be of anyone component or together.


What is the torque specs for upper and lower ball joints on a 1999 Dodge Dakota?

Top ball joint is 60 ft.lbs., initial. Then tighten to align hole for cotter pin. Bottom ball joint is 94 ft.lbs., initial. Then tighten to align hole for cotter pin


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.

What type of material used for cotter joint?

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


How do you change a Balljoint on a 2000 Chevy Malibu?

Jack up the car. Put the car on jack stands. Remove the tire Ball joint located under the axle, attached to the lower control arm Use pliers or grips, rip out cotter bin unbolt the nut use a ball joint separator to pop out the ball joint use joint separator to pop in a new joint reassemble nut and New Cotter Pin put tire back on Hope this helps.


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.
