Q.1 (a) What is a self ? energizing brake? When a brake becomes self-locking?
03
(b) Explain the uniform pressure theory while designing the single plate clutch.
04
(c) A single plate clutch, consisting of two pairs of contacting surfaces, is required
07
to transmit 40 kW power at 1560 r.p.m. The outer diameter of the friction disk
is limited to 300 mm. The coefficient of friction between the contacting
surfaces is 0.3 and the intensity of pressure is limited to 0.4 N/mm2. Assume
uniform wear condition and service factor is 1.25, Determine: (i) The inner
diameter of friction disk, (ii) Axial force required to engage the clutch.
