Thickness of Cotter given Shear Stress in Cotter Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thickness of Cotter = (Load on Cotter Joint)/(2*Shear Stress in Cotter*Mean Width of Cotter)
t_c = (L)/(2*τ_co*b)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Thickness of Cotter - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Cotter is the measure of how much broad is the cotter in direction perpendicular to axial force.
Load on Cotter Joint - (Measured in Newton) - Load on cotter joint is basically the amount of load/force any part or joint, can bear or is acted upon or exerts.
Shear Stress in Cotter - (Measured in Pascal) - Shear Stress in Cotter is the amount of stress (cause deformation by slippage along a plane parallel to the imposed stress) generated into the cotter due to the shear force acting on it.
Mean Width of Cotter - (Measured in Meter) - The mean Width of Cotter is defined as the average width of the cotter of a cotter joint.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Load on Cotter Joint: 50000 Newton --> 50000 Newton No Conversion Required
Shear Stress in Cotter: 24 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 24000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Mean Width of Cotter: 48.5 Millimeter --> 0.0485 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_c = (L)/(2*τ_co*b) --> (50000)/(2*24000000*0.0485)

Evaluating ... ...

t_c = 0.0214776632302405

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0214776632302405 Meter -->21.4776632302405 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

21.4776632302405 ≈ 21.47766 Millimeter <-- Thickness of Cotter

Diameter of Spigot of Cotter Joint given Compressive Stress

Go Diameter of Spigot = Diameter of Socket Collar-(Load on Cotter Joint)/(Thickness of Cotter*Compressive Stress in Spigot)

Diameter of Spigot of Cotter Joint given Shear Stress in Spigot

Go Diameter of Spigot = (Load on Cotter Joint)/(2*Gap between End of Slot to End of Spigot*Shear Stress in Spigot)

Minimum Diameter of Spigot in Cotter Joint Subjected to Crushing Stress

Go Diameter of Spigot = Load on Cotter Joint/(Crushing Stress induced in Cotter*Thickness of Cotter)

Diameter of Spigot Collar given Rod Diameter

Go Diameter of Spigot Collar = 1.5*Diameter of Rod of Cotter Joint

Thickness of Cotter given Shear Stress in Cotter Formula

Thickness of Cotter = (Load on Cotter Joint)/(2*Shear Stress in Cotter*Mean Width of Cotter)
t_c = (L)/(2*τ_co*b)

What is a spigot?

Spigot is the male part of the cotter joint, it has a rectangular slot for passing the cotter through it. The spigot has a collar that rests against the socket end.
