(7) A clutch system is to be designed to transmit 800 ft-lb of torque. A multi-plate clutch in an oil bath is found to be suitable for this application. The outer disk diameter is to be limited to a maximum of 7 inch. Design data for molded friction material and steel disk is Pmax=160 psi and f = 0.11. Determine inner diameter of disks, clamping force and number of disks. Assume inner diameter of disk = 0.5 * outer diameter. Assume uniform rate of wear at interface (List necessary assumptions, make suitable sketch & label it, write conclusions).

Clutches, Brakes, Couplings, and Flywheels

The clutch is described as a machine element used to connect or disconnect two shafts together to transmit torque or power. The clutch works on the principles of friction. The clutch is commonly used in automobiles to transfer power from the driving shaft to the driven shaft.
