Cotters

IES-1.

Assertion (A): A cotter joint is used to rigidly connect two coaxial rods carrying

tensile load.

Reason (R): Taper in the cotter is provided to facilitate its removal when it fails

due to shear.

[IES-2008]

(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

(b) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

(c) A is true but R is false

(d) A is false but R is true

IES-1. Ans. (b) A cotter is a flat wedge shaped piece of rectangular cross-section and its

width is tapered (either on one side or both sides) from one end to another for an

easy adjustment. The taper varies from 1 in 48 to 1 in 24 and it may be increased up

to 1 in 8, if a locking device is provided. The locking device may be a taper pin or a

set screw used on the lower end of the cotter. The cotter is usually made of mild

steel or wrought iron. A cotter joint is a temporary fastening and is used to connect

rigidly two co-axial rods or bars which are subjected to axial tensile or compressive

forces.
