PART B
1. A single plate clutch is used for an engine that develops a maximum torque of 120 N-m. Assume
a factor of safety of 1.5 to account for slippage at full engine torque. The permissible intensity of
pressure is 350 kPa and the coefficient of friction is 0.35. Calculate the inner and outer diameter
of the friction lining and the axial force to be exerted by the springs to engage the clutch. (16)

An automobile single plate clutch consists of two pairs of contacting surfaces. The inner and
outer radii of friction plate are 120 mm and 250 mm respectively. The coefficient of friction is
0.25 and the total axial forces 15kN. Calculate the power transmitting capacity of the clutch plate
at 500 rpm using
(i) Uniform wear theory and
(ii) Uniform pressure theory. (16)

2. A multi-disc consist of 5 steel plates and 4 bronze plates. The inner and outer diameters of
friction disks are 75mm and 150 mm respectively. The coefficient of friction is 0.1 and the
intensity of pressure is limited to 0.3 N/mm 2. Assume the uniform wear theory, calculate (i) the
required operating force and (ii) power transmitting capacity at 750 rpm. (16)(April/May 2008)

A multi plate disc clutch has 3 disks on the driving shaft and 2 on the driven shaft is to be
designed for a machine tool, driven by an electric motor of 22 kW running at 1440 rpm. The
inside diameter of contact surface is 130 mm. the maximum pressure between the surface is
limited to 0/N/mm2. Design the clutch. Take = 0.3, n1= 3.n2= 2. (16)

3. A hydraulically operated clutch is to be designed for an automatic lathe. Determine the number
of plates and operating force required for the clutch to transmit 35 N-m. The clutch is to be
designed to slip under 300% of related torsional moment to protect the gears and other parts of
the drive. The limits for the diameter of friction surface due to space limitations are 100 mm and
62.5 mm. the clutch is to operate in an oily atmosphere. (16)

5. The displacement specification for the follower are given below:
Stroke of the follower = 25 mm
Out stroke takes place with SHM during 90o of cam rotation
Return stroke takes place with SHM during 75o of cam rotation
Cam rotates with a uniform speed of 800 rpm
Determine the induced contact stress, assuming follower mass as 0.25 kg and spring stiffness as
100 N/mm, when the cam rotation is 15 o. Take the thickness of the plate cam as 10 mm. the base
circle radius and the follower roller radius are 25 mm and 10 mm respectively. Material used is
steel. (16)

A cam is to give the following motion to a knife edged follower:
(i) Outstroke during 60o of cam rotation
(ii) Dwell for next 30o of cam rotation
(iii) Return stroke during next 60o of cam rotation; and
(iv) Dwell for remaining 210o of cam rotation.
The stroke of the follower is 40 mm and the minimum radius of the cam is 50 mm. the follower
moves with the uniform velocity during both the outstroke and return stroke. Draw the profile of
cam when the axis of follower passes through the axis of the cam shaft. (16) (Nov/Dec 2010)

width of the friction lining is 40 mm and the intensity of normal pressure is limited to 1
N/mm2. The coefficient of friction 0.32. the angle 1 can be assumed to be zero. Calculate (i)
