When in use, the motor and flywheel of a punch press run continuously.
A compressed-air-actuated, multiple-disk clutch connects the flywheel to
the countershaft each time the press is to punch or form metal. The clutch
torque required is 600 N m. Alternate sintered metal and cast-iron disks
are to be used. For design purposes it is decided to use 75 percent of the
average value of f, and one-third of the average value of p given in Table
18.1. In addition, a safety factor of 1.20 is to be used with respect to torque
capacity. Space requirements limit the disk outside diameter to 250 mm.
(a) Determine the minimum satisfactory total number of disks.
(b) Using this number of disks, determine the minimum area of com-
bod pressed-air actuating surface that must be provided if air will always
be available at a pressure of at least 0.40 MPa.
Ans. Part a.) (2 Sintered Metal Friction disks and 3 Cast Iron Plates)
Note: The number of friction surface interfaces: N = 4.
Part b.) Area = 0.02029 m²
