A plate clutch has two discs on driven shaft, each effective on both sides, and of outer and inner radii 280 mm and 140 mm, respectively. It transmits 45 kN at 2400 rev/min and μ = 0.32 for the friction material. Calculate:
4.1. The axial force needed assuming uniform pressure. (7)
4.2. The force that would be needed assuming uniform wear. (5)
4.3. The maximum power that the belt will transmit. (6)
A cone clutch with cone angle 60degrees , with the same outer inner radii, delivers the same power at the same speed as the clutch in Question 4.
Calculate:
5.1. The cone angle. (8)
5.2. The with width of the clutch. (2)
