WHAT IS A COTTER JOINTS
 
• A cotter is a flag wedge  shaped piece of steel.
 
• Cotter joint uses one or  two cotters to connect
two rods rigidly transmitting
  forces and
motion, with no rotation   of the rods
IMAGES OF COTTER JOINT
• TYPES OF COTTER JOINTS
• 1.Socket and spigot cotter joint.
• 2.Sleeve and cotter joints.
• 3.Gib and cotter joints.
Socket and spigot cotter joint
.
In a socket and spigot cotter joints, one end
of the rods is provided with a socket type of
end and the other end of the rod is inserted
into a socket the end of the rod which goes in
to a socket is also called spigot .a rectangular
hole is made in the socket and spigot.
• COTTER WITH ONE GIB
• When one gib is used the cotter with one side
tapered is provided and the gib is always on
the outer slide.
• COTTER WITH TWO GIB
• When two gibs are used the cotter with
both slide tapered is provided.
Cotter without gibs

• When the cotter alone is driven the friction


between its ends.
• The inside of the slots in the strap tends to
cause the slides of the strap to spread
outwards.
APPLICATION OF COTTER JOINTS
Connection of the piston rod with the cross
heads.
Connection of a valve rod to its stem.
Joining of tail rod with piston rod of a wet air pump.
• Advantages of cotter joints
• Cotter joints can be easily made, and the parts
always occupy exactly the same relative
positions after reassembly
• The joints can be used to connect similar pipes
tubes.
• It is quite rigid and can take both tensile and
compressive loads.
• Disadvantages of cotter
• joints
• Rectangular rods and dissimilar cylindrical
rods cannot be connected usingthis joints.
• The sleeve and cotter joints which cannot
connect cylindrical members undergo
rotation.
• DESIGNING OF COTTER
• SHEAR FAILURE OF THE COTTER
• 2bt𝜏 =P
 
• The width of the cotter b can be obtained
• TAPER OF THE COTTER

• To ensure that the cotter does not work back, the


taper should not exceed 1 in 24

TAPER OF THE COTTER

• To ensure that the cotter does not work back, the

FUTURE SCOPE
• Cotter Joint has mainly three components – spigot,
socket and cotter Spigot is formed on one of the
rods and socket is formed on the other. The socket
and the spigot are provided with a narrow
rectangular slot. The cotter is tightly fitted in this
slot. Spigot fits inside the socket and the cotter is
passed through both the socket and the spigot. A
cotter is a wedge shaped piece made of a steel
plate. It has uniform thickness and the width
dimension is given a slight taper.
