A cone clutch with a cone semi angle of 120 is to transmit 11.19 kw at 750rpm. The width of the face is 1/4th of the mean diameter and the normal pressure between the contact faces is not to exceed 8.27 104 pa. Allowing the coefficient of friction of 0.2, determine the main dimensions of the clutch and the axial force required.
Answers
Answer:I had it in my book
Explanation:Cone Clutch
In a cone clutch the contact surface between the driving and driven members forms a part of the cone. The effectiveness of the clutch is increased due to wedging action of the cone so that the normal force on the lining increases. This increase in normal force results in increased torque. Considar an elemental ring at a radius r running around the cone (Fig. 24.4), the radial width of which is dr and width parallel to conical surface is dw.
