Chapter 16, Problem 16P

A plate clutch has a single pair of mating friction surfaces 250-mm OD by 175-mm ID. The mean value of the coefficient of friction is 0.30, and the actuating force is 4 kN.

(a)    Find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-wear model.

(b)    Find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-pressure model.

A multi-plate clutch has four pairs of frictional surfaces, each of internal diameter 120 mm and external diameter 200 mm. If the coefficient of friction is 0.3 and the uniform pressure condition can be assumed, what is the required spring force when the plates transmit 20 kW at 1400 rpm?
A local utility vehicle production company have considered using in one of its design a multi-disc clutch consisting of a 9 steel disc and 8-bronze discs with effective outside and inside diameter of 220mm and 160mm, respectively. If the shaft turns at 150rpm and an axial force of 600N is applied, find the horsepower capacity, considering a coefficient of friction of 0.25
A cone clutch has cone elements at an angle of 12o. The clutch transmit 25 HP at a speed of 1200 rpm. The mean diameter of the conical friction section is 16 in and the coefficient of friction is 0.35. Find the axial force needed to engage the clutch.
