Question

2. Explain factors affecting torque transmitted by clutch eg number of plates, diameter, and friction

Answer 1

The clutch torque actually designed with a higher value than the engine maximum torque. the design factor is to accommodate for the; increase in engine torque, wear in the friction material (decrease in normal force), decrease in coefficient of friction.The torque capacity of the clutch is the amount of torque that can be transmitted by the clutch when it's slipping or when it's fully closed. The torque capacity of a clutchdepends on a series of factors: total area of the friction surface. friction coefficient.
