Design of Clutch

1. A single plate friction clutch of both sides effectively has a 300 mm


outer diameter and 160 mm inner diameter. The coefficient of
friction is 0.2, and it runs at 1000 rpm. Find the power transmitted
for uniform wear and uniform pressure distribution cases if the
allowable maximum pressure is 0.08 MPa.

2. A multi-plate clutch of alternate bronze and steel plates is to


transmit 6 kW power at 800 rpm. The inner radius is 38 mm, and the
outer radius is 70 mm. The coefficient of friction is 0.1, and the
maximum allowable pressure is 350 kPa. Determine (i) the Axial
force required, (ii) the Total number of discs, (iii) the Average
pressure, and (iv) the Actual maximum pressure

3. A Multiple plate clutch has steel on bronze to transmit 8 KW at 1440


rpm. The inner diameter of the contact is 80mm, and the outer
diameter of the contact is 140 mm. The clutch operates in oil with a
coefficient of friction of 0.1. The overage allowable pressure is
0.35MPa. Assume uniform wear theory and determine the following.
a) Number of steel and bronze plates b) Axial force required c)
Actual maximum pressure

4. A cone clutch is to transmit 7.5 KW at 600 rpm. The face width is 50


mm, the mean diameter is 300 mm and the face angle is 15°.
Assuming the coefficient of friction is 0.2, determine the axial force
necessary to hold the clutch parts together and the normal pressure
on the cone surface.

5. A friction cone clutch has to transmit a torque of 200 N-m at 1440


rpm. The longer diameter of the cone is 350mm. The cone pitch
angle is 6.25 °, the force width is 65 mm, and the coefficient of
friction is 0.2. Determine i) the axial force required to transmit the
torque. ii) The average normal pressure on the contact surface when
maximum torque is transmitted.
