Additional Information

  • Knuckle joint is a type of mechanical joint used in structures, to connect two intersecting cylindrical rods, whose axes lie on the same plane. It permits some angular movement between the cylindrical rods (in their plane).
  • It is specially designed to withstand tensile loads. It facilitates rotation about the axis but arrests displacement.
