DESIGN OF SOCKET AND SPIGOT COTTOR JOINT

Spigot and Socket Cotter Joint:

The end of the rod, which goes into the socket, is called the spigot. A spigot and

socket cotter joint is shown in Fig. The design of various parts may be accomplished as

discussed below.

The socket and spigot cotter joint is as shown in Fig.

Let, P = Load carried by the rods,

d = Diameter of the rods,

d1 = Outside diameter of socket,

The dimensions for a socket and spigot cotter joint can be found by considering the

various modes of failure as discussed below :

Step 1 :Failure of the rods in tension :

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

Area resisting tearing

= 2

4d

Tearing strength of the rods

= td

24

Equating this load (P), we have

P = td

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

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

Note : Thickness of the cotter is generally taken as 0.4d, hence t = 0.4d.

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

as shown in Fig. , therefore

Area resisting tearing of the spigot across the slot

= tdd .)(4

Hence, tearing strength of the spigot across the slot

= ttdd

.)(

Equating this to load (P), we have

P = ttdd .)(4/ 22

2

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

determined.

Step 3 :Failure of the rod or cotter in crushing :

The area that resists crushing of a rod or cotter = d2. t

Crushing strength = d2. t. c

Equating this to load (P) we have

2003-04 3

P = d2. t. c

From this equation, the induced crushing stress may be checked.

From this equation the outside diameter of socket ( d1) may be determined.

Step 5 :Failure of cotter in shear :

Considering the failure of cotter in shear as shown in Fig.

Since the cotter is in double shear, therefore shearing

area of the cotter = 2.b.t

and shearing strength of the cotter = 2.b.t.

Equating this to the load (P), we have

P = 2 b.t.

From this equation, width of the cotter (b) can be determined.

Step 6 :Failure of the socket collar in crushing :

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

We know that the area that resists crushing of

socket collar. = ( d4 d2) t

and crushing strength = ( d4 d2) . t . c


P = ( d4 d2) . t . c

From this equation, the diameter of socket collar ( d4) may be obtained.

Step 7 :Failure of socket end in shearing :

The socket end is in double shear, therefore area that resists shearing of socket collar.


4/34


2003-04 4

= 2 ( d4 d2) c

Shearing strength of socket collar = 2 ( d4 d2) c x

Equating this to load (P), we have P = 2 ( d4 d2) c x

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

Step 8 :Failure of rod end in shear :

The rod end is in double shear, therefore the area resisting shear of the rod end.

= 2 ad2

Hence, shear strength of the rod end = 2.d2.x a.

Equating this to load (P), we have P = 2 ad2.

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

be obtained.

Step 9 :Failure of spigot collar in crushing :

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

Step 10 :Failure of the spigot collar in shearing :

Consider failure of the spigot collar in shearing as

shown in Fig. Area that resists shearing of

the collar. = . d2. t1and shearing strength of the collar = . d2. t1.


P = . d2. t1.

From this equation, the thickness of spigot collar ( t1)

may be obtained.

Step 11 :Failure of cotter in bending :

In all the above relations, it is assumed that the load is uniformly distributed over the

various cross-sections of the joint. But in actual practice, this does not happen and the cotter

is subjected to bending. In order to find out in the bending stress induced it is assumed that

the load on the cotter in the rod end is uniformly distributed while in the socket end it varies

from zero at the outer diameter ( d4) and maximum at the inner diameter ( d2), as shown in

Fig. The maximum bending moment occurs at the center of the cotter and is given by

This bending stress induced in the cotter should be less than allowable bending stress

Hence l = 4d

Example 1

Design a cotter joint as shown in Fig. to transmit a load of 90 kN in tension or

compression. Assume the following stresses for socket, spigot and cotter.

Allowable tensile stress = 90 Mpa

Allowable crushing stress = 120 Mpa

Allowable shear stress = 60 Mpa.

Solution :

Given :

P = 90kN = 90 x 103N t= 90Mpa = 90 N/mm

2

c= 120Mpa = 120 N/mm2 = 60Mpa = 60 N/mm2

Referring from Fig.

DESIGN OF KNUCKLE JOINT

Knuckle Joint :

A knuckle joint is used to connect two rods subjected to tensile load only.

At the end of one rod an eye is forged and at the other end of the other rod a fork.

The eye and the fork are connected by means of a pin. The joint provides flexibility in one

plane and provides a quick means of connecting and disconnecting the joint. The rods may

not be truly axial and may have angular misalignment. Fig. shows a knuckle joint most

commonly used. It is generally made from mild steel or wrought iron.

If d is the diameter of rod, then diameter of pin, d1= d

Outer diameter of eye d2 = 2d

Diameter of knuckle pin head and collar, d3 = 1.5d

Thickness of single eye or rod end, t = 1.25 d

Thickness of fork, t1= 0.75 d

Thickness of pin head, t2= 0.5 d

Other dimensions of the joint are shown in Fig.

Methods of Failure of Knuckle Joint :

Consider a knuckle joint as shown in Fig.

Let P = Tensile load acting on the rod,

d = Diameter of the rod,

d1= Diameter of the pin

d2= Outer diameter of the eye

t2= Thickness of pin head and collar

t = Thickness of single eye

t1= Thickness of fork.

t, , c= Permissible stresses for the joint material in tension, shear and crushing

respectively.

In determining the strength of the joint for the various methods of failure, it isassumed that

(1) There is no stress concentration, and

(2) The load is uniformly distributed over each part of the joint.

Due to these assumptions the strengths are approximate, however they serve to

indicate a well proportioned joint. Following are the methods of failure of the joint :

Step 1 :Failure of the solid rod in tension:

Since the rods are subjected to direct tensile load, therefore tensile strength of the rod,

= td

24

Equating this to the load (P) acting on the rod, we have

P = td

24

From this equation, diameter of the rod (d) is obtained.

Step : 2 Failure of the knuckle pin in shear :

Equating this to the load (P) acting on the rod, we have P = 2

1 )(4

2 d

From this equation induced in kunckle pin is obtained. If it is less thanpermissible shear stress then the pin is safe in shear.

Step 3 :Failure of the single eye or rod end in shearing :

The single eye or rod end may fail in shearing due to tensile load. We know that

area resisting shearing = ( )tdd 21

Shearing strength of single eye or rod end

( ) .12 tdd =


( ) .t12 ddP =

From this equation, the outer diameter of the eye (d2)

may be obtained.

Step 4 :Failure of the single eye or rod end in tension :

The single eye or rod end may tear off due to tensile load. We know that area

resisting tearing = ( ) tdd 12

Tearing strength of single eye or rod end ( ) t12 .t dd =

Equating this to the load (P), we have ( ) t12 .t ddP =

From this equation, the induced tensile stress tmay be checked. In case the induced tensile

stress is more than the allowable working stress, then increase the outer diameter of the eye

(d2).


13/34


2003-04 13

Step 5 :Failure of the single eye or rod end in crushing :

The single eye or pin may fail in crushing due to the tensile load. We know that area

resisting crushing = d1t

Crushing strength of single eye or rod end

= d1. t . c


P = d1. t . c

From this equation, the induced crushing stress cfor the single eye or pin may be checked.

In case the induced crushing stress is more than the allowable working stress, then increase

the thickness of the single eye.

Step 6 :Failure of the forked end in tension :

The forked end or double eye may fail in tension due to the tensile load. We

know that area resisting tearing = (d2 d1) 2t1

Tearing strength of the forked end

= (d2 d1) 2t1x t


P = (d2 d1) x 2t1x t

From this equation, the induced tensile stress may be checked.

Step 7 :Failure of the forked end in shear :The forked end may fail in shearing due to the tensile load. We know that area

resisting shearing = (d2 d1) x 2t1

shearing strength of the forked end

= (d2 d1) x 2t1x

Equating this to the load (P) we have

P = (d2 d1) 2t1x

From this equation the induced shear stress may be checked. In case, theinduced shear stress is more than the allowable working stress, then thickness of

the fork is increased.

Step 8 :Failure of the forked end in crushing :

The forked end or pin may fail in crushing due to the tensile load. We know that

area resisting crushing = d1x 2t1


14/34


2003-04 14

crushing strength of the forked end

= d1x 2t1x c

Equating this to the load (P) we have

P = d1x 2t1x c

From this equation, the induced crushing stress may be checked.

Example 3 :

Design a knuckle joint for a tie rod of a circular section to sustain a maximum pull

of 70 kN. The ultimate strength of the material of the rod against tearing is

420 N/mm2. The ultimate tensile and shearing strength of the pin material

are 510 N/mm2and 396 N/mm

2respectively. Determine the tie rod section and

pin section. Take factor of safety = 6.

Solution :

Data : P = 70 kN = 70000 N tufor rod = 420 N/mm2

tufor pin = 510 N/mm2 tu= 396 N/mm

We shall now consider the various methods of failure of the joint as discussed below

Step 1 :Failure of the rod in tension

Let d = Diameter of the rod we know that the load (p),

70,000 = 222 d5570

44

== dd t

d2= 70,000/55 = 1273

or d = 35.7 say 36 mm.

The other dimensions of the joint are fixed as given below :

Diameter of the knuckle pin d1= d = 36 mm

Outer diameter of the eye, d2= 2d = 2 x 36 = 72 mm


15/34


2003-04 15

Diameter of knuckle pin head and collar, d3 = 1.5d = 1.5 x 36 = 54 mm

Thickness of single eye or rod end, t = 1.25 d = 1.25 x 36 = 45 mm

Thickness of fork, t1= 0.75d = 0.75 x 36 = 27 mm

t2 = 0.5d = 0.5 x 36 = 18 mm

Now we shall check for the induced stresses as discussed below :

Step 2 :Failure of the knuckle pin in shear

Since the knuckle pin is in double shear, therefore load (P),

70,000 =

2036)36(4

2)(4

2 221 == d

= 70,000 / 2036 = 34.4 N/mm2

Since 34.4 < 66 N/mm2pin is safe in shear

Step 3 :Failure of the single eye or rod end in shearing

P = (d2 d1).t.

70000 = ( d2 36 ) x 45 x 66 = 59.5690 mm

Hence taking the bigger value as found from the standard formula we take d2as 72mm.

Step 4 :Failure of the single eye or rod in tension

The single eye or rod end may fail in tension due to the load.

We know that load (P) is

70,000 = (d2 d1) x t x t

= (72 36) x 45 x t= 1629 t

t=2/2.43

t= 36.0082 N/mm2

2003-04 16

Hence the induced stresses are less than the given values hence the joint is safe in

tension.

Step 7 :Failure of the forked end in shear :

P = (d2 d1) 2t1x

70000 = ( 72 36 ) x 2 x 27 x

= 36.0082 N/mm2

Hence the induced stresses are less than the given values hence the joint is safe in shear.

Step 8 :Failure of the forked end in crushing :

P = d1x 2t1x c

70,000 = 36 x 2 x 27 x c

c= 36.0082 N/mm2

Hence, as the induced stresses are less than the given permissible stresses the joint is

safe in crushing.

DESIGN OF LEVER SAFETY VALVE

A lever safety valve is used to maintain a constant pressure inside the boiler. When

press inside boiler increase excess steam blows off through the value until press falls to

required limit.

Design of lever :

Step 1 :Finding value of W :

From the pressure given (guage pressure) find value of W using relation

W = pressure x area

Or W = 2

4DP

From above find W.

Step 2 :Finding equilibrium conditions :

Considering equilibrium of lever i.e. Fx, Fyand M, find forces at points B and F.

Step 3 :Design of pins :

The pins are designed from bearing consideration and checked for shearing.

Let dp= diameter of pin

lp = length of pin [if nothing

specified assume]

If not specified in question,

lp= 1.25 dp

Bearing area of pin = dpx lp(Projected area)

W = dpx lpx bearing pressure

From above we find dpand lp , now, pin is checked in double shear.

Step 4 :Design of fulcrum pin :

Since force at fulcrum is almost same as W, hence we take same pin at fulcrum.

Assuming a 2mmthick gunmetal bush is provided in pin holes to reduce wear

and to increase life of lever.

diameter of hole = dp+ 2 x thickness of bush

outer diameter of boss = 2 x diameter of hole

Step 5 :Design of cross section of lever

Example :

A lever loaded safety value is 70 mm in diameter and is to be designed for a boiler to blow

off at a pressure of 1 N/mm2 (guage). Design a suitable mild steel lever using following

data.

Tensile stress = 70 Mpa.

Shear stress = 50 Mpa.

Bearing pressure = 25 Mpa.

Pin is also made of mild steel. Distance of fulcrum to weight on lever is 880 mm, and

distance between fulcrum and pin connecting the valve spindle links to the lever is 80mm.

DESIGN OF RIGID FLANGE COUPLING

Flange Coupling :

It is a rigid type of coupling. The flange coupling consists of two cast iron flanges,

keyed to the shaft ends and bolted together. To ensure proper alignment, the end of one

shaft may enter into the recess provided in the flange attached to the other shaft. Protected

type of shafts is often used to provide safety to the operator. These flanges project beyond

the heads of the bolts and nuts. The flanges are generally made from cast iron by casting or

steel by a forging process. They are generally preferred for transmitting heavy torques. The

various parts of the flange coupling as shown in Fig. may be designed as explained below :

Steps to Design Flange Coupling :

Step 1 : On the basis of torque to be transmitted, calculate the shaft diameter d using

the relation.

T = ( )shaft

epermissibld

Step 2 : Using empirical relations find all other dimensions of the flange coupling.

(a) Outside diameter of hub (D1) = 2 d. (b) Length of hub (L) = 1.5 d.

(c) P.C.D. of bolts (D1) = 3 d. (d) Outside diameter of flange (D2) = 4 d.

(e) Thickness of flange ( tf ) = 0.5 d. (f) Number of bolts (n) = 3150

4+d

or number of bolts can be taken as.

n =3 for shaft dia. upto 40 mm.




(g) If the coupling is protective type flange coupling then, thickness of protective

circumferential flange ( tp) = 0.25 d.

Step 3 : On the basis of shaft diameter we decide dimensions of the key.

(a) for square key

(b) for rectangular key w =4

Length of key (l) = Length of hub (L).

Step 4 :Since we have used empirical relations to find various dimensions, now we shall

check each part for safety.

(1) Design check for hub :

The hub is designed by considering it as a hollow shaft transmitting the same torque

T. Using the relation.

T = ( ).

If inducedis less than permissiblefor cast iron then the design of hub is safe.

(2) Design check for Flange :

The flange at the junction of the hub is under shear while transmitting the torque.

Area of flange subjected to shear = D x tf

Now force at junction (F) = Shear stress x shear area.

And Torque (T) = Force x radius

Hence Torque (T) = ( )2

From the above equation we find induced

If inducedis less than permissiblethen key is safe in crushing.

Step 6 : Design for bolts :

The bolts are subjected to shear stress due to the torque transmitted. The bolts are

designed for shear and checked for crushing.

(a) Design for shear :Load on each bolt = shear stress x shear area.

Load on each bolt = bolt 214

d

Torque = Force x P.C.D. of bolts

From the above equation inducedis found.

If inducedis less than permissiblefor bolt then design of bolt is safe.

Problem : Design and draw a flange coupling for a steel shaft transmitting 15 kW at

200 r.p.m. and having allowable shear stress of 40 Mpa. Shearing in bolts should not

exceed 30 Mpa. Assume that same material is used for shaft and key and crushing stress is

twice the value of shearing stress. Maximum torque is 25% greater than full load torque.

The shear stress for Cast Iron is 14 Mpa.

(b) Length of hub (L) = 1.5 d = 75 mm.

(d) Outside diameter of flange (D2) = 4 d = 200 mm.

(e) Thickness of flange ( tf ) = 0.5 = 25 mm.

(f) Number of bolts (n) = 4.

DESIGN OF SHAFT CARRING ONE PULLEY AND SUPPORTED IN

TWO BEARING

A belt pulley is keyed to the shaft, midway between the supporting bearings kept at

1000 mm apart. The shaft transmits 20 KW power at 400 rpm. Pulley has 400 mm

diameter. Angle of wrap of belt on pulley is 1800and the belt tensions act vertically

downwards. The ratio of belt tensions = 2.5.

The shaft is made of steel having ultimate tensile stress and yield stress of 400 Mpa

and 240 Mpa respectively. Use ASME code to design the diameter of shaft with combined

fatigue and shock factors in bending and torsion as 1.5 and 1.25 respectively.

Solution : We draw a rough diagram.

Step I :Applying ASME code to find permissible

permissible = 0.3 x Syt

OR

permissible= 0.18 x Sut

whichever of the above two is minimum

permissible = 0.3 x 240 = 72 Mpa

OR permissible = 0.18 x 400 = 72 Mpa

Since, the pulleys are keyed to the shaft therefore, reducing smaller value by 25%.

permissible= 0.75 x 72

permissible= 54 MPa

Step III : To find maximum B.M. i.e.; M :

(a) Since belt tensions act vertically downwards hence vertical load at the center of the shaft

becomes (T1+ T2) in the downward direction.

Now, Fy RA+ RB= 5570.422

MA = 0
