ppt on manufacturing methods of knuckle joint

A knuckle joint is used to connect two rods which are under the action of tensile loads. However, if the joint is guided, the rods may support a compressive load. A knuckle joint may be readily disconnected for adjustments or repairs.

ABSTRACT
An improved method for manufacturing a steering knuckle and spindle unit for a heavy duty vehicle, such as a truck, including forming the spindle, separately forming the knuckle, and finally welding the knuckle and spindle together to form an integral unit. The spindle is a hollow elongated metal tube preferably cold formed. The knuckle is formed by forging and a bore is machined or pierced in the knuckle to be aligned with the hollow portion of the spindle. The knuckle and spindle are then welded together such as by spin or inertia or electron beam welding to form an integral unit.

A knuckle joint is a mechanical joint used to connect two rods which are under a tensile load, when there is a requirement of small amount of flexibility, or angular moment is necessary. There is always axial or linear line of action of load.

A mechanical joint is a section of a machine which is used to connect one mechanical part to another. Mechanical joints may be temporary or permanent, most types are designed to be disassembled. Mechanical joints are much cheaper and are usually bought ready assembled.
