What Is Knuckle Joint?

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.

What type of joint is a knuckle joint?

A knuckle joint is a form of pin joint that's used to transmit tension loads while allowing rotation in one plane. A knuckle joint is a type of pin joint used to join two components that are loaded in tension.

What is the function of knuckle joint?

A knuckle joint is a type of joint which connects two cylindrical rods whose axes lies on the same plane and are under a tensile load. It is used to transmit axial tensile force. This joint allows angular movement of the two cylindrical rods in one plane.
