Thickness of Cotter Joint Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thickness of Cotter = 0.31*Diameter of Rod of Cotter Joint
t_c = 0.31*d
This formula uses 2 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.
Diameter of Rod of Cotter Joint - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Rod of Cotter Joint is defined as the length of the longest chord passing across the rod of a cotter joint end.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Diameter of Rod of Cotter Joint: 35.6827 Millimeter --> 0.0356827 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_c = 0.31*d --> 0.31*0.0356827

Evaluating ... ...

t_c = 0.011061637

Define a Cotter joint?

A cotter is a flat wedge-shaped piece of steel. This is used to connect rigidly two rods that transmit motion in the axial direction, without rotation. These joints may be subjected to tensile or compressive forces along the axes of the rods.

How to Calculate Thickness of Cotter Joint?

Thickness of Cotter Joint calculator uses Thickness of Cotter = 0.31*Diameter of Rod of Cotter Joint to calculate the Thickness of Cotter, The Thickness of Cotter joint formula is used to connect two rods subjected to axial tensile or compressive loads. It has uniform thickness and the width dimension is given a slight taper. Thickness of Cotter is denoted by t_c symbol.

How to calculate Thickness of Cotter Joint using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Thickness of Cotter Joint, enter Diameter of Rod of Cotter Joint (d) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Thickness of Cotter Joint calculation can be explained with given input values -> 9610 = 0.31*0.0356827.

FAQ
