The document describes the design of a cotter joint to withstand a maximum tensile load of 6KN. It provides definitions of the variables involved in the joint design. It then outlines 10 steps to size the different parts of the joint based on the material properties and load value, determining values for the diameters, thicknesses, and distances. The final section provides the results of the full design process.

Design Cotter Joint Withstand 6KN Load
1. 22564 EMD 2.1 Design of Joints, levers, offset links
Design a cotter joint for a maximum tensile load of 6KN. The
cotter joint parts are made of 30C6 steel. The permissible
stresses for it as follows t = 60 N/ mm2 , c = 100 N / mm2, =
40 N / mm2.

Socket and Spigot Cotter Joint
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.

1. Failure of the rods in tension
The rods may fail in tension due to the tensile load P. We know that
t = 60Mpa, P = 6KN = 6000N

2. Failure of spigot in tension across the weakest section
Consider thickness of cotter as per
standard relations
