    2.6 KNUCKLE JOINT A knuckle joint is used to connect two rods which are under the action of tensile forces, when a small amount of flexibility or angular moment is necessary. IL is basically a tensile joint. However, if the joint is guided, it may support a compressible load. This joint can be readily disconnected for adjustments or repairs. * The common examples of the knuckle joint are : link of a roller chain, tension link in a bridge structure, tie rod joint of roof truss, tie rod joint of jib crank, etc. . A vypical knuckle joint, as shown in Fig. 2.13, consists of three parts : 1. Eye; 2. Fork; and, 3. Knuckle pin. * The end of one rod is formed into an eye and the end of other rod is formed into a fork (or a double eye) with an eye in each of the fork leg. * The eye is inserted into the fork and after aligning the holes in the eye and fork, the knuckle Pin is inserted through them. The knuckle, pin has a head at one end and at the other end it is secured by a collar and a taper pin or split pin, 2.6.1 Design of Knuckle Joint : Asked in Exam : W - 2004 II! a knuckle joint connecting two rods and subjected to an axial tensile force ‘P” as ig. 2.13, Cor shown in Single Eye Collar Split Pin Fig. 2.13 : Knuckle Joint t= thickness of the single eye, mm Let P= axial tensile force on rods, N d= diameter of the rod, mm , = diameter of the knuckle pin, mm D_ = outside diameter of the cye, mm t, = thickness of the fork, mm 4, = diameter of the pin head and outside diameter of the collar, mm = thickness of pin head and collar, mm = permissible tensile stress for fork end, eye end, and knuckle pin, N/mm? o, = permissible compressive stress for fork end, eye end, and knuckle pin, N/mm? permissible shear stress for fork end, eye end, and knuckle pin, N/mm? The dimensions of knuckle joint are obtained as discussed below : Diameter of rod (@); Diameter of knuckle pin (d, Thickness of single eye (0); Thickness of fork (t, ); Outside diameter of eye (D); Failure of fork end in tension; Failure of fork end in shear; Failure of knuckle pin in bending. Paap ey 1. Diameter of rod (d) : The rod is subjected to a direct tensile stress as shown Fig. 2.14(2) and is given by, P es From Equation (a), the diameter of the rod ‘d? is obtained. Aa) 2, Diameter of knuckle pin (dy): The knuckle pin is subjected to a double shear, as shown in Fig. 2.14(b). The direct shear stress induced in a knuckle pin is, R = od 2(mde ya y From Equation (b), the diameter of the knuckle pin ‘ be obtained. Fig. 2.14(b) 3. Thickness of single eye (t) : : ‘The area of contact between the knuckle pin and the single eye, as shown in Fig. 2.14(c), is subjected to a crushing stress. ‘The crushing stress induced is, LZ LL 4—| Fig. 2.14(c) ar a) p Tis important to note that, if there is relative rotary motion the knuckle pin and the single Jeye, the stress between the knuckle pin and the single eye is bearing pressure instead of crushing stress. Hence in such cases, Equation (c) is modified as, = = wc!) yt From Equation (c), the thickness of the single eye ‘t? is obtained. The minimum thickness of the single eye is taken as, P, (= 125d wd) Hence, the thickness of the single eye ‘t’ is taken as the larger of the two values obtained from Equations (c) and (d). 4. Thickness of fork (t, ) : The contact area between the knuckle pin and the fork, shown in Fig. 2.14(d), is subjected to a crushing stress, ‘The corresponding crushing stress induced is, P °, = Tay wn) Fig. 2.14(d) Uc is important to note that, if there is a relative rotary motion between the knuckle pin and th ie fork, the stress induced is bearing pressure instead of crushing stress, Hence, in such cases, Equation (e) is modified as, P R= —- 7 we’) 2d, .

The direct shear stress induced in a single eye is, ————— 21(D-d,)v2] adh) Fig. 2.140) ‘The outside diameter of the single eye ‘D’ is calculated from Equations (g) and (h), and the larger of the two values is adopted. : 6. Failure of fork end in tension : Similar to the single eye, the fork is also subjected to a direct tensile stress. The tensile stress induced in a fork is, P 2(D=4,)t, From Equation (i), the tensile stress induced is calculated. This value must be less than the permissible tensile stress for the safety against the tensile failure. Failure of fork end in shear : The fork end is also subjected to a double shear. The direct shear stress induced in a fork is, P ) 2(D=4,)t, For the safety of the fork against the shear failure, the induced shear stress obtained from Equation (j) must be less than the the permissible shear stress. 8. Failure of knuckle pin in bending : Sometimes a knuckle pin is loose in forks. In such cases, it is subjected to bending with load Uniformly distributed along the portion of pin in the eye and uniformly varying over the portion of pin in the forks as shown in Fig. 2.14(g). ) ts a Pi2 Section X-X Fig. 2.14(g) Fig. 2.14(h) tion X-X, is given From Fig. 2.14(h), the maximum bending moment, which is at the mid by, wok) or oe b 3 ol) nd, In practice, sometimes the dimensions of the knuckle joint are ' joint are taken as a proportions in terms of the diameter of the rod ‘d?, These are : " 4, =d; D=2d4; t= 1.25 d; 0.75 d; 4, = 15d: 1, =05 4 I is important to note that, in any application of a knuckle joint, if the continuous relative expected between ei and i | motion is expected between either the pin and eye or the pin and fork, then the corresponding | crushing stress should be replaced by bearing pressure in analysis, The summery of the design of knuckle joint is given in Table 2.2. ‘Table 2.2 : Design of Knuckle Joint Single Eye Collar ~ F Spit Pin ays Sr. | Parameter Stress Induced Equation Remark No to be L Calculated 1, | Diameter | Tensile stress (o,) ——— of rod (a) (nP/4) 2. | Diameter | Direct shear stress (t) —P__ of nk yay knuckle D pin (d,) 3.
