Homework task-7

Clutches and brakes


1. Specify the required torque rating for a clutch to be attached to a motor shaft
running at 1750 rpm. The motor is rated at 5.0 hp and is of the design B type.

2. Specify the required torque rating for a clutch to be attached to a diesel engine
shaft running at 2500 rpm. The engine is rated at 75.0 hp.
3. Specify the required torque rating for a clutch to be attached to an electric motor
shaft running at 1150 rpm. The motor is rated at 0.50 hp and drives a light fan.
4. An alternative design for the system described in Problem 1 is being considered.
Instead of putting the clutch on the motor shaft, it is desired to place it on the
output shaft of a speed reducer that rotates at 180 rpm. The power transmission is
still approximately 5.0 hp. Specify the required torque rating for the clutch.

5. Specify the required brake torque rating for each of the conditions in Problems 1–
4 for average industrial conditions.
6. Specify the required torque rating for a clutch in N· m if it is attached to a design
B electric motor shaft rated at 20.0 kW and rotating at 3450 rpm.

7. A clutch-brake module is to be connected between a design C electric motor and


a speed reducer. The motor is rated at 50.0 kW at 900 rpm. Specify the required
torque ratings for the clutch and the brake portions of the module for average
industrial service. The drive is to a large conveyor.
8. Compute the torque required to accelerate a solid steel disc from rest to 550 rpm
in 2.0 s. The disc has a diameter of 24.0 in and is 2.5 in thick.
9. The assembly shown in Figure P22–9 is to be stopped by a brake from 775 rpm to
zero in 0.50 s or less. Compute the required brake torque.

10. Compute the required clutch torque to accelerate the system shown in Figure
P22–10 from rest to a motor speed of 1750 rpm in 1.50 s. Neglect the inertia of the
clutch.

11. A winch, sketched in Figure P22–11, is lowering a load at the speed of 50 ft/min.
Compute the required torque rating for the brake on the winch shaft to stop the
system in 0.25 s.

FIGURE P22–11
12. Figure P22–12 shows a tumbling barrel being driven through a wormgear
reduction unit. Evaluate the torque rating required for a clutch to accelerate the
barrel to 38.0 rpm from rest in 2.0 s (a) if the clutch is placed on the motor shaft
and
(b) if it is placed at the output of the reducer. Neglect the inertia of the gear shafts,
the bearing races, and the clutch. Consider the worm and wormgear to be solid
cylinders.

13. Compute the dimensions of an annular platetype brake to produce a braking
torque of 75 lb · in. Air pressure will develop a normal force of 150 lb between the
friction surfaces. Use a coefficient of friction of 0.25. The brake will be used in
average industrial service,stopping a load from 1150 rpm
14. Design a plate-type brake for the application described in Problem 9. Specify
the design coefficient of friction, the dimensions of the plate, and the axial force
required.
15. Compute the axial force required for a cone clutch if it is to exert a driving
torque of 15 lb ·ft. The cone surface has a mean diameter of 6.0 in and an angle of
12°. Use f = 0.25.
16. Design a cone brake for the application described in Problem 9. Specify the
design coefficient of friction, the mean diameter of the cone surface, and the axial
force required.
17. Compute the actuation force required for the short shoe drum brake of Figure
22–17(a) to produce a friction torque of 150 lb·ft. Use a drum diameter of 12.0 in, a
= 4.0 in, and L = 24.0 in. Use f = 0.25 and b = 5.0 in.

18. For all other data from Problem 17 being the same, determine the required
dimension b for the brake to be self-actuating.
19. Design a short shoe drum brake to produce a torque of 100 lb· ft. Specify the
drum diameter, the configuration of the actuation lever, and the actuation force.
20. Design a long shoe drum brake to produce a friction torque of 100 lb· ft to stop
a load from 480 rpm. Specify the friction material, the drum size, the shoe
configuration, pivot locations, and actuation force.
21. Design a band brake to exert a braking torque of 75 lb· ft while slowing a drum
from 350 rpm to rest. Specify a material, the drum diameter, the band width, the
angle of coverage of the friction material, the actuation lever configuration, and the
actuation force.
22. The solid steel cylinder shown in Figure P22–22 is used as a guide roller for a
paper processing system. In normal operation, it rotates at an angular velocity of
800 rpm. A disc caliper brake is mounted on the left end of the roller to stop it when
the system is shut down. When the brake is applied, the roller must stop in a time of
5.0 seconds or less. The magnitude of the torque applied to the roller is required to
select the proper size for the disc caliper brake.
Solve for the following:
(a) Mass moment of inertia, I, of the cylinder
(b) The required deceleration rate for the cylinder
(c) The braking torque required to stop the cylinder in 5.0 seconds or less.
