DME-III_Design of Machine Elements_Knuckle Joint
Knuckle Joint Design Procedure Before going into detailed steps to design the dimensions of the Knuckle joint, it is essential to get oriented with all its components and their functions. Here is the diagram showing the exploded view of Knuckle Joint. As seen in the assembly the Knuckle joint has main four parts Rods {Which are to be connected by joint } Single eye {Modified rod for assembly} Double eye or Forked end {Modified rod for assembly} Pin {Connects the two rods} Collar {to keep the pin in position} Split pin or taper pin {Not in diagram} {to prevent sliding away of pin} Assembly Drawing and Notations used in Knuckle Joint Notations used in design : P = Tension in rod ( Load on the joint) D = Diameter of rod D 1 = Enlarged diameter of rod d = Diameter of pin d 1 = Diameter of pin head d 0 = Outer diameter of eye or fork t1 = thickness of eye...
