Mechanical joint is a part of a machine which is used to contact another mechanical part or mechanism.

Mechanical joints may be temporary or permanent. Most types are designed to be disassembled when required.
Mechanical joints are much cheaper and are usually bought ready assembled.

1. KNUCKLE JOINT
2. SCREWED JOINT 3. COTTER JOINT 4. RIVETTED JOINT 5. WELDING JOINT

1. KNUCKLE JOINT
A knuckle joint is used to connect the two rods which are under tensile load , when there is a requirement of small amount of flexibility or angular moment is necessary.
MAJOR COMPONENTS-

i) Eye end ii) Fork end iii) Knuckle pin

APPLICATIONS-

i) Tie roof joint for roof truss. ii) Tension link in bridge structure. iii) Link of roller chains. iv) Tie rod joint of jib cranes. v) In tractors.

The bolted or screwed joint is very popular method for fastening components together. The prime reason for selecting bolts as opposed to welding or rivet is that the connection can be easily released allowing disassembly, maintenance & inspection.
COMPONENTS OF BOLTED JOINTS:-

i)Bolt ii)Nut
ADVANTAGES OF BOLTED JOINTS:-

i)Screwed joints are highly reliable in operation. ii)Bolted joints are convenient to assemble & disassemble. iii)Wide range of screwed joints may be adopted to various operating conditions. iv)Comparatively cheaper.
DISADVANTAGES OF BOLTED JOINTS:-

i)The main disadvantage of bolted joints is the stress concentration in the threaded portions which are vulnerable points under variable load conditions.

1.Through bolt 2.Tap bolt 3.Studs 4.Caps screws 5.Machine screws 6.Set screws 7.Foundation bolts such as Rag bolt , Hoop bolt , Lewis foundation bolt , T-headed foundation bolt etc.
COMMON TYPES OF NUTS:1. Nylock full nut 2.Domed nut 3.Philidas self locking nut 4.Hexagonal nut 5.Wing nut 6.Flanged nut 7.Castle nut 8.Slotted nut

Cotters are temporary fasteners & are used to hold two parts together where the parts are subjected to axial forces only. A cotter is a wedge shaped piece of mild steel often rectangular in section. A cotter is tapered on one side or both sides. A joint formed by using a cotter is called a COTTER JOINT. Types of cotter joints:1. Socket & spigot cotter joint 2. Sleeve & cotter joint 3. Strap joint

Advantages:Cotter joints are advantageous in that they are simple in design & allow a convenient assembly & disassembly of the joint.

Application:Cotter joints are often used to connect a rod which is subjected to axial loading, either to another rod or to some machine part such as a cross head, baseplate, connecting rod end of a steam engine etc.

1. WELDING JOINT Welding is a process of joining two similar or dissimilar metals by fusion, with or without the application of pressure & with or without the use of filler metal. The fusion takes place by means of heat obtained from blacksmiths fire, electric resistance or by chemical reaction. The following are the main key features of welding:1. Lighter than riveted or bolted structures. 2. Maximum efficiency & greater strength. 3. The addition and alterations can be easily made in the existing structure. 4. The welding provides very rigid joints. 5. Less time required. Disadvantages of welding joints:1.Due to uneven heating & cooling members may get distorted & residual stress may develop. 2.It requires highly skilled labour & supervision. 3.Inspection of welding joint is more difficult than other joints.
