3 EW) 24. A centrifugal clutch has four blocks which slide radially in a spider keyed to the driving shaft and make contact with the internal cylindrical surface of a drum keyed to the driven shaft. When the clutch is at rest each block is pulled against a stop by a spring so as to leave a radial clearance of 6 mm between the block and the drum. The pull exerted by the spring is then 450 N and the mass centre of the block is 200 mm from the axis of the clutch. If the internal diameter of the drum is 500 mm, the mass of each block is 7 kg, the stiffness of each spring is 35 kN/m and the coefficient of friction between block and drum is 0-3, find the maximum power the clutch can transmit at 500 rev/min.

24. A centrifugal clutch has four blocks which slide radially in a spider keyed
to the driving shaft and make contact with the internal cylindrical surface of a
drum keyed to the driven shaft. When the clutch is at rest each block is pulled
against a stop by a spring so as to leave a radial clearance of 6 mm between the
block and the drum. The pull exerted by the spring is then 450 N and the mass
centre of the block is 200 mm from the axis of the clutch.
If the internal diameter of the drum is 500 mm, the mass of each block is
7 kg, the stiffness of each spring is 35 kN/m and the coefficient of friction between
block and drum is 0-3, find the maximum power the clutch can transmit at
500 rev/min. (I. Mech. E.)
(Ans.: 51.7 kW)
