A local utility vehicle production company have considered using in one of its design a multi-disc clutch consisting of a 9 steel disc and 8-bronze discs with effective outside and inside diameter of 220mm and 160mm, respectively. If the shaft turns at 150rpm and an axial force of 600N is applied, find the horsepower capacity, considering a coefficient of friction of 0.25

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.
