CottersIES-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.
