Thickness of Cotter given Compressive Stress in Spigot Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thickness of Cotter = (Load on Cotter Joint)/(Compressive Stress in Spigot*Diameter of Spigot)
t_c = (L)/(σ_c1*d₂)
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.
Compressive Stress in Spigot - (Measured in Pascal) - Compressive Stress in Spigot is the amount of stress generated into the spigot due to the compressive force on it.
Diameter of Spigot - (Measured in Meter) - The diameter of Spigot is defined as the diameter of the external surface of the spigot or the inner diameter of the socket.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Load on Cotter Joint: 50000 Newton --> 50000 Newton No Conversion Required
Compressive Stress in Spigot: 58.2 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 58200000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Diameter of Spigot: 40 Millimeter --> 0.04 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_c = (L)/(σ_c1*d₂) --> (50000)/(58200000*0.04)

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 Compressive Stress in Spigot Formula

Thickness of Cotter = (Load on Cotter Joint)/(Compressive Stress in Spigot*Diameter of Spigot)
t_c = (L)/(σ_c1*d₂)

Why is the cotter given a taper?

Generally, the value of taper on cotter is 1 in 48 to 1 in 24 and it provides mainly two benefits: First, this tapper is easy to remove and makes disassembling of joint a simple process. Second, the tapper also ensures the tightness of the joints and prevents the parts from loosening.
