Tutorial for Clutches

1. A single dry plate clutch is to be designed to transmit 7.5 kW at 900 r.p.m. The allowable
shear stress for the spring wire may be taken as 420 MPa. Find:
a) Diameter of the shaft,
b) Mean radius and face width of the friction lining assuming the ratio of the
mean radius to the face width as 4,
c) Outer and inner radii of the clutch plate, and
d) Dimensions of the spring, assuming that the number of springs are 6 and
spring index = 6.
2. The contact surfaces in a cone clutch have an effective diameter of 80 mm. The semi-
angle of the cone is 15° and coefficient of friction is 0.3. Find the torque required to
produce slipping of the clutch, if the axial force applied is 200 N. The clutch is employed
to connect an electric motor, running uniformly at 900 r.p.m. with a flywheel, which is
initially stationary. The flywheel has a mass of 14 kg and its radius of gyration is 160
mm. Calculate the time required for the flywheel to attain full-speed and the energy lost
in slipping of the clutch.
3. Determine the principal dimensions of a cone clutch faced with leather to transmit 30 kW
at 750 r.p.m. from an electric motor to an air compressor. Sketch a sectional front view of
the clutch and provide the main dimensions on the sketch. Assume semi-angle of the
1
cone = 12 °, μ = 0.2; mean diameter of cone = 6 to 10 d where d is the diameter of shaft;
2
allowable normal pressure for leather and cast iron = 0.075 to 0.1 N/mm 2; load factor =
1.75 and mean diameter to face width ratio = 6.
4. A centrifugal clutch is to be designed to transmit 15 kW at 900 r.p.m. The shoes are four
in number. The speed at which the engagement begins is 3/4th of the running speed. The
inside radius of the pulley rim is 150 mm. The shoes are lined with Ferrodo for which the
coefficient of friction may be taken as 0.25. Determine
a) Mass of the shoes, and
b) Size of the shoes
