Design a cotter joint to connect a piston rod to the crosshead. The maximum steam
pressure on the piston rod is 35 kN. Assuming that all the parts are made of the same
material having the following
permissible stresses :
𝜎1 = 50 MPa ; 𝜏 = 60 MPa and 𝜎𝑐 = 90 MPa.

Jawaban
Diketahui :
P = 35 kN; 𝜎1 = 50 MPa ; 𝜏 = 60 MPa and 𝜎𝑐 = 90 MPa.
 Diameter of piston rod at cotter
𝜋
35000 = [ 𝑥 (𝑑2 )2 − 𝑑2 𝑡]𝜎1

𝜋
35000 = [ (𝑑2 )2 − 0.3(𝑑2 )2 ] 50

35000 = 24.27 (𝑑2 )2
𝑑2 = 38 𝑚𝑚

𝑡 = 0.3𝑑2 = 11.4 𝑚𝑚

 Width of Cotter
35000 = 2𝑏 𝑥 𝑡 𝑥 𝜏
35000 = 2𝑏 𝑥 11.4 𝑥 60
𝑏 = 25.6 𝑚𝑚

 Diameter of Socket
𝜋
35000 = { [(𝑑3 )2 − (𝑑2 )2 ] − (𝑑3 − 𝑑2 )𝑡} 𝜎1
4
 𝜋
35000 = { [(𝑑3 )2 − (38)2 ] − (𝑑3 − 38)11.4} 50

35000 = 39.5(𝑑3 )2 − 570𝑑3 − 78365
39.5(𝑑3 )2 − 570𝑑3 − 78365 + 35000 = 0
39.5(𝑑3 )2 − 570𝑑3 − 43365 = 0
(𝑑3 )2 − 14𝑑3 − 1098 = 0

𝑑3 = 41 𝑚𝑚
Let us now check the induced crushing stress in the socket. We know that load (P),
35000 = (𝑑3 − 𝑑2 )𝑡 𝑥 𝜎𝑐
35000 = (41 − 38)11.4 𝑥 𝜎𝑐
𝜎𝑐 = 1023 𝑁/𝑚𝑚2
Since the induced crushing is greater than the permissible value of 84 N/mm2,
therefore let us find the value of d3 by substituting 𝜎𝑐 = 90 N/mm2 in the above
expression, i.e.
35000 = (𝑑3 − 38)11.4 𝑥 90
𝑑3 = 72 𝑚𝑚
We know the tapered length of the piston rod,
𝐿 = 2.2𝑑2 = 83.6 𝑚𝑚
Assuming the taper of the piston rod as 1 in 20, therefore the diameter of the parallel
part of the piston rod,
𝐿 1
𝑑 = 𝑑2 + 𝑥
2 20
83.6 1
𝑑 = 38 + 𝑥
2 20
𝑑 = 40 𝑚𝑚
and diameter of the piston rod at the tapered end,
𝐿 1
𝑑1 = 𝑑2 − 𝑥
2 20
𝑑1 = 36 𝑚𝑚
