    Cone Clutches

    The cone clutch is an axially actuated clutch that can transmit a high torque compared to a single disk clutch of the same size due to its wedging action and increased friction area. The cone angle is always above 8 degrees and normally between 12 and 15 degrees, as a smaller angle could cause the clutch to jam during engagement. There are two operating conditions for clutch plates: uniform wear, which applies to well-used clutch assemblies, and uniform pressure, which applies to new clutch plates with fresh friction linings. Under uniform wear, the torque transmitted is calculated based on the axial force, coefficient of friction, and the inner and outer radii. Under uniform pressure, the torque is related to the maximum pressure for the friction surface

    Introduction

    The cone clutch is an axially actuated clutch which is able to transmit a relatively high torque

    for its size compared to a single disk plate clutch of the same dimensions. This results from

    the wedging action and increased friction area. Cone clutches are not used widely now and

    are generally used for low peripheral speed applications.

    o o o
    The cone angle is always above 8 and is normally between 12 and 15 . if the angle is

    less than this value than the clutch is liable to jam in engagement.

    Nomenclature

    Fa = Axial Applied Force (N)

    Fn = Axial Normal Force (N)

    P = Clutch Power kW

    M = Clutch Torque (Nm)

    = Coefficient of Friction.

    & r = Radius of clutche ring thickness dr (m)

    r i, r o = Inner, Outer radius of clutch. (m)

    n = Rotational Speed (RPM)

    p = Pressure for friction surface(N/m )

    2
    p max = Maximum pressure for friction surface(N/m )

    Theory

    There are two operating conditions applicable to clutch plates.

    Ãc Ñniform wear.. Applicable for practical clutch assemblies after period of operation

    Ãc Ñniform pressure.. Applicable for new clutch plate friction linings.
