A cotter joint is used to connect two rods which are in Correct Answer Tension and Compression

Explanation:

Cotter :

  • Cotter's joint is used to join two shafts which are in Rotation.
  • Cotter's joint is used when the members are subjected to Axial Tensile or Compressive Loading.
  • It is not used to connect the shafts that are rotating or transmitting torque. e.g. Joint between the piston rod and the crosshead of a steam engine.
  • The Cotter joint is also known as a socket and spigot joint.
  • There are three main parts of the Cotter joint
  1. Cotter
  2. Spigot
  3. Socket
