Question

A basic disk clutch is to be designed to transmit a torque of 100 lb in. The outer ring diameter is to be 4 in. Design values for the steel disk and the molded friction material to be used are pmax = 200 psi and f = 0.25. Determine appropriate values for the ring inside diameter and the clamping force.

David · Accepted Answer

Ans. 1 
The torque to be transmitted by clutch, 
100lb  
The outer diameter, 
4inod   
The maximum pressure, 
200psiP   
The friction coefficient, 
0.25   
Calculate the diameter of inside ring, 
Consider the relation between the torque and ring diameter,
