Clutch – is a machine member which is used to connect shafts so that the driven shaft will rotate with the driving shaft, and
to disconnect them at will.
Friction Clutch – is a type of a clutch where in the driving force is transmitted by friction.

An automobile engine develops its maximum brake torque at 2,800 rpm when the brake hp is 200. A design value of
f = 0.25 is expected to be reasonable for the asbestos facing and it is desired that the mean diameter not exceed 8.5 in. ;
permissible pressure is 35 psi. Designing for a single plate clutch, determine the outer and inner diameters of the disk.
A multiple-disk clutch of 4 pairs of clutch surfaces is rated at 22 hp at 100 rpm; D = 14 in. and d = 7.5 in. If f = 0.25,
find: a) P and b) p.

A cone clutch has a face angle of 15º with a maximum diameter of 24 in. and a face width of 3 in. The coefficient of
friction is 0.2 and the permissible pressure on the cone surface is 12 psi. Determine : a) P, b) T, c) Power in hp.
A cone clutch is to transmit 15 hp at 400 rpm. The mean diameter of the clutch is 10 in. and the face angle is 10 º ; let f = 0.3
and permissible p = 35 psi. Compute: a) P ; b) b ; c) D and d.
