Test: Friction Clutches - 3 - Question 1

The frictional torque transmitted in a flat pivot bearing assuming uniform wear

Detailed Solution for Test: Friction Clutches - 3 - Question 1

Frictional troque transmitted

(Uniform pressure)
where 
μ = Coefficient of friction
W = Load over the bearing
R = Radius of bearing

Test: Friction Clutches - 3 - Question 2

A single clutch operating under dry sliding condition transmits 150 Nm. The average coefficient of friction is 0.3 and maximum operating pressure is 0.5 MPa. The ratio between the outside radius and inner radius is 1.73. Under uniform wear conditions, if the outside radius of the clutch is to be minimum, the inside radius will have to be

Detailed Solution for Test: Friction Clutches - 3 - Question 2


Torque transmitted = 150 N-m
For uniform wear
p • r = Constant
0.5 x r1 = C

Torque transmitted =

Test: Friction Clutches - 3 - Question 3

Consider the following statements regarding a centrifugal clutch:
1. It need not be unloaded before engagement.
2. It enables the prime mover to start up under no-load conditions.
3. It picks up the load gradually with the increase in speed.
4. It will not slip to the point of destruction.
5. It is very useful when the power unit has a low starting torque.
Q. Which of these are the advantages of a centrifugal clutch?

Detailed Solution for Test: Friction Clutches - 3 - Question 3

Centrifugal clutch will have slip as it is example of friction clutch. it has to be unloaded before engagement.
Fc = mω2r

Test: Friction Clutches - 3 - Question 4

A clutch has outer and inner diameters 100 mm and 40 mm respectively. Assuming a uniform pressure of 2 MPa and coefficient of friction of liner material 0.4, the torque carrying capacity of the clutch is

Detailed Solution for Test: Friction Clutches - 3 - Question 4

Using uniform pressure theory, torque carrying capacity of clutch is given by




= 195936 Nmm
= 195.936 Nm.

Test: Friction Clutches - 3 - Question 5

A disc clutch is required to transmit 5 kW at 2000 rpm. The disc has a friction lining with coefficient of friction equal to 0.25. Bore radius of friction lining is equal 0.25 mm. Assume uniform contact pressure of 1 MPa. The value of outside radius of the friction lining is

Detailed Solution for Test: Friction Clutches - 3 - Question 5

Power Transmitted = 5 kW
N = 2000 rpm
μ = 0.25
r1 = 25 mm
Uniform Pressure = 1 MPa


T = 23.87 N-m
Pressure





ro= 39.4 mm
Bolts in a rigid flangecoupling fails in shear and crushing.

Test: Friction Clutches - 3 - Question 6

Which one of the following statement is correct? In case of clutches, the uniform pressure theory:

Test: Friction Clutches - 3 - Question 7

Which one of the following is the correct expression for the torque transmitted by a conical clutch of outer radius R, inner radius r and semi-cone angle a assuming uniform pressure? (where W = total axial load and μ = coefficient of friction)

Detailed Solution for Test: Friction Clutches - 3 - Question 7

Conical clutch, uniform pressure

where, α → semi angle of cone for uniform wear

Test: Friction Clutches - 3 - Question 8

In a plate clutch axial force is 4 kN. The inside radius of contact surface is 50 mm and the outside radius is 100 mm. For uniform pressure the mean radius of friction surface will be

Detailed Solution for Test: Friction Clutches - 3 - Question 8

Test: Friction Clutches - 3 - Question 9

In the multiple disc clutch, if there are 6 discs on the driving shaft and 5 discs on the driven shaft, then the number of pairs of contact surfaces will be equal to

Detailed Solution for Test: Friction Clutches - 3 - Question 9

n = n1 + n2 -1 = 6 + 5 - 1 = 10

Test: Friction Clutches - 3 - Question 10

In cone clutch
