Question

Calculate the torque transmitted by a single plate dry clutch with a clamping force of 1.3 kN, a
coefficient of friction u is 0.29, and a mean effective radius of 200 mm.
Slot these values into my formula, T=SPUR
Tis the torque transmitted
S is the number of friction couples in contact. For example, in a single plate dry clutch, there
are 2 friction couples: one between the front of the clutch disc and the flywheel, and one
between the back of the clutch disk and the pressure plate.
P Pressure plate clamping force.
u is the coefficient of friction between the clutch lining and the flywheel and pressure plate.
R is the mean (average) effective radius of the clutch disc​
