Cotter Joint Free 3D model

This is used to connect rigidly two rods which transmit motion in the axial direction, without rotation. These joints may be subjected to tensile or compressive forces along the axes of the rods. The very famous example is the joining of piston rod's extension with the connecting rod in the crosshead assembly.

Advantages:- 1.Quick assembly and disassembly is possible 2. It can take tensile as well as compressive force. Application:- 1.Joint between the piston rod and crosshead of a steam engine 2.Joint between the valve rod and it's steam 3.A steam engine connecting rod strap end 4.Foundation bolt
