INTRODUCTION: -

WHAT IS KNUCKLE JOINT?

A knuckle joint is used to join two rods which are subjected to the action of
tensile loads. However, if the joint is directed, the rods can support compressive
loads. A knuckle joint can be easily disconnected for adjustment or repair.

Typically, these types of joints are used in bicycle chain links, tie rod joints for roof
trusses, valve rod joints with centric rods, pump rod joints, tension links in
bridges, and also found in a variety of lever and rod connections.

One end of the rod forms into the eye and the other end of the rod forms a fork,
with an eye in each fork. The knuckle pin slightly passes through both the eye and
fork hole and it is achieved with a collar and taper pin.

A small stop, pin, peg, or snug can prevent the knuckle pin from rotating into the
fork. To obtain a better quality of the joint, the edges of the fork and eye are
machined, the holes are drilled accurately and the pins are rotated. The material
used to make the joint may be steel or iron.
Parts of knuckle Joints: -
Following are the main parts of a knuckle joint:

1. Two rods
2. Double-eye end or fork end
3. Single eye end
4. Knuckle pin
5. Collar
6. Taper pin
1.Two rods
It usually requires two rods to connect the knuckle joint. In which one
rod has one end of the eye while the other has two ends like a fork.

2. Double-eye End or Fork End


This double-eye end usually consists of two ends and has a shape like a
fork. Because one end is for entering the knuckle pin and the other for
the collar in which the taper pin is put so that this joint does not open.

3. Single-eye End
The single eye end is placed between the double eye end of the two
holes in such a way that all the 3 holes (2 holes of the double eye end
and 1 hole of the single eye end) are together.

4. Knuckle Pin
Now, the knuckle pin is passed through these holes and joins them
together very tightly. Usually, there is a small hole at the end of the
knuckle pin to insert the taper pin.

5. Collar
It has a collar with a two-hole for passing the taper pin. The collar is
placed at the end of the knuckle pin in such a way that the hole meets
the hole at the knuckle joint.

6. Taper Pin
After that, a taper is passed through the hole of the collar to secure the
collar and knuckle pins and prevent them from slipping. In this way, the
knuckle joint can be made.
Advantage of using Knuckle Joints: -
Following are the advantages of using knuckle joint:

1. Knuckle joints have the ability to withstand high tensile loads.


2. It can give you high repeating accuracy even with varying
material thickness and tensile strength.
3. They provide excellent mechanical rigidity.
4. They are simple in construction and easy to install.
5. The knuckle joint is easily assembled and disassembled.

Disadvantage of using Knuckle joints: -


Knuckle joints give most of the benefits but they also have some drawbacks,
which are as follows:

1. The ability to withstand large compressive loads is not much in


knuckle joints.
2. It gives you angular momentum but only in one plane. It’s one of
their shortcomings.
3. You may have used a universal Joints to see how flexible they are,
but the knuckle joint doesn’t have that flexibility.
Material used to make Knuckle Joints: -

Knuckle joints are normally made of materials like aluminum, stainless


steel, structural steel, magnesium, and cast iron. It has been found that
knuckle joints made of aluminum have the highest safety factor of
about 50 kN loading conditions.

Joints used in some industries are usually made from a combination of


cast iron and stainless steel. As technology advances in recent decades,
material costs and weight have decreased, resulting in reduced
accidents and increased safety.

Recently discovered that if you use composite material instead of cast


iron, it has many advantages such as easy-to-make knuckle joints,
maximum safety, and eco-friendly. You can easily cast or fabricated and
forged the knuckle joint.
CONCLUSION: -

A knuckle joint is a mechanical joint employed to connect two


rods under tensile loads when a small amount of flexion or
angular moment is required. Now, I hope that you have learned
about the “knuckle joint” and its different parts and working.
