Knuckle joint is a mechanical joint used to connect two rods which are under a tensile load, when there is a small amount of flexibility required , or angular moment is necessary. The action of load is always on axial or linear line.
The knuckle joint assembly consists of the following major components:
FORK END ROD
EYE END ROD
COLLAR
PIN
TAPER PIN
At the fork end of the rod a single eye is formed and a double eye is formed at the eye 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 the other end there is a taper pin. For gripping purpose, the ends of the rod are of octagonal forms. Now, when the two eyes are in pulled apart, the pin holds them together.
Based on the figure above the knuckle joint parts are going to design in PTC CREO 7.0. The parts will design using creo part modelling & assembly will be done using creo assembly.
