    The document describes the design of a socket and spigot cotter joint. It lists the parameters involved in the design and analyzes the different failure modes, including failure of the rods in tension, failure of the spigot in tension across the slot, failure of the rod or cotter in crushing, failure of the socket in tension across the slot, failure of the cotter in shear, and others. Equations are provided for calculating the dimensions of the joint to prevent each type of failure based on the load and material properties. An example problem is then given to design a cotter joint to support a specified load range using a given carbon steel material.

    Design of Socket and Spigot Cotter Joint

    The socket and spigot cotter joint is shown in Fig.

    Let P = Load carried by the rods,

    d = Diameter of the rods,

    d1 = Outside diameter of socket,

    d2 = Diameter of spigot or inside diameter of socket,

    d3 = Outside diameter of spigot collar,

    t1 = Thickness of spigot collar,

    d4 = Diameter of socket collar,

    c = Thickness of socket collar,

    b = Mean width of cotter,

    t = Thickness of cotter,

    l = Length of cotter,

    a = Distance from the end of the slot to the end of rod,

    σt = Permissible tensile stress for the rods material,

    τ = Permissible shear stress for the cotter material, and


    σc = Permissible crushing stress for the cotter material.

    The dimensions for a socket and spigot cotter joint may be obtained by considering the various modes of
    failure as discussed below :

    1. Failure of the rods in tension:

    The rods may fail in tension due to the tensile load P. We know that

    Tearing strength of the rods

    From this equation, diameter of the rods ( d ) may be determined

    2. Failure of spigot in tension across the weakest section (or slot):

    The weakest section of the spigot is that section which has a slot in it for the cotter, as shown in Fig

    The tearing strength of the spigot across the slot,

    From this equation, the diameter of spigot or inside diameter of socket (d2) may be determined.

    3. Failure of the rod or cotter in crushing: The rods or cotter may fail in crushing.

    Crushing strength
    Using this equation, the induced crushing stress may be checked.

    4. Failure of the socket in tension across the slot:

    5. Failure of cotter in shear:

    Considering the failure of cotter in shear as shown in Fig. Since the cotter is in double shear

    Since the cotter is in double shear,

    From this equation, width of cotter (b) is determined.

    6. Failure of the socket collar in crushing:


    Considering the failure of socket collar in crushing as shown in Fig.

    From this equation, the diameter of socket collar (d 4) may be obtained.

    7. Failure of socket end in shearing:

    Since the socket end is in double shear,

    From this equation, the thickness of socket collar (c) may be obtained.

    8. Failure of rod end in shear:

    Since the rod end is in double shear,

    From this equation, the distance from the end of the slot to the end of the rod (a) may be obtained.

    9. Failure of spigot collar in crushing:

    Considering the failure of the spigot collar in crushing as shown in Fig.


    From this equation, the diameter of the spigot collar (d 3) may be obtained.

    10. Failure of the spigot collar in shearing:

    Considering the failure of the spigot collar in shearing as shown in Fig.

    From this equation, the thickness of spigot collar (t 1) may be obtained.

    11. Failure of cotter in bending: The cotter may be fail due to bending. The bending stress induced on
    the cotter is shown in Figure.
    Note: This bending stress induced in the cotter should be less than the allowable bending stress of the
    cotter.

    12.Length of the cotter:

    The length of cotter (l) is taken as 4 d.

    P1: Design and draw a cotter joint to support a load varying from 30 kN in compression to 30 kN in
    tension. The material used is carbon steel for which the following allowable stresses may be used. The
    load is applied statically.

    Tensile stress = compressive stress = 50 MPa ; shear stress = 35 MPa and crushing stress = 90 MPa.

    Solution:

    Given Data : P = 30 kN = 30 × 10 3 N ; σt = 50 MPa = 50 N / mm2 ; τ = 35 MPa = 35 N / mm 2 ; σc = 90 MPa =


    90 N/mm2
