3. A multiple disc clutch has an outside diameter of 165 mm and inside diameter of 84 mm. The clutch material permits a maximum pressure of 262 kPa and has a coefficient of friction of 0.3. Determine (a) the actuating force, (b) the number of discs needed (c) actual maximum pressure, (d) Initially, the speed of driving side is 500 rpm and driven side is stationary. If the mass moments of inertia for driving side and driven side are 11-30...
Question 4 [25 marks] An electric motor drives a coaxial rotor through a single-plate clutch which has two pairs of driving surfaces each 300 mm external and 175 mm internal diameter. The variation of normal pressure with radius is given by a + b/r Pa and the maximum pressure is 150 kPa. The spring force on the system is 500 N. The mass of the motor armature and shaft is 750 kg and its radius of gyration is 240 mm;...
