 KNUCKLE JOINT
A knuckle joint is a mechanical joint used to connect two
rods which are under a tensile load, when there is a
requirement of small amount of flexibility, or angular
moment is necessary. There is always axial or linear line of
action of load.
The knuckle joint assembly consists of the following major
components:

1. Single eye.
2. Double eye or fork
3. Knuckle pin.
At one end of the rod the a single eye is formed and a double
eye is formed at the other end of the rod. Both, single and
double eye are connected by a pin inserted through the eye.
The pin has a head at one end and at other end there is a
taper pin or split pin. For gripping purpose, the ends of the
rod are of octagonal forms. Now, when the two eyes are
pulled apart, the pin holds them together. The solid rod
portion of the joint in this case is much stronger than the
portion through which the pin passes.
APPLICATIONS OF KNUCKLE JOINT
Knuckle Joint can't be used to connect two
intersecting rods. Explanation: Knuckle Joint is used to
connect two rods whose axes coincide or intersect and
lie in a same plane. Explanation: Knuckle joint can't be
used for torque transmission.

1. Tie rod joint of roof truss.

2. Tension link in bridge structure.
3. Link of roller chain.
4. Tie rod joint of jib crane.
5. The knuckle joint is also used in tractor.
6. Connecting rods between locomotive wheels.

Knucle joint allows relative angular movement of rods in the pliane about axis of pin.
DESIGN OF KNUCKLE JOINT
Step 6 : Checking the tension of fork in end in tension across
the slot
 PROBLEM OF KNUCKLE JOINT
Q. DESIGN AND DRAW A KNUCKLE JOINT REQUIRED TO
WITHSTAND A TENSILE LOAD OF 150KN. THE
PREMISSIBLE STRESSES ARE σt=75N/mm2,
τ=60N/mm2,σc=150N/mm2
