Brakes and Clutches

a. A differential band brake is shown in Fig.. The diameter of the drum is 800 mm. The
coefficient of friction between the band and the drum is 0.3 and the angle of embrace
is 240°. When a force of 600 N is applied at the free end of the lever, find for clockwise
and anticlockwise rotation of the drum: 1. the maximum and minimum forces in the
band ; and 2. the torque which can be applied by the brake. [Ans. 176 kN, 50 kN, 50.4
kN-m ; 6.46 kN, 1.835 kN, 1.85 kN-m]

b. A single block brake, as shown in Fig. 19.38, has the drum diameter 250 mm. The angle
of contact is 90° and the coefficient of friction between the drum and the lining is
0.35. If the operating force of 650 N is applied at the end of the lever, determine the
torque that may be transmitted by the block brake. [Ans. 65.6 N-m]

c. A multiplate clutch has three pairs of contact surfaces. The outer and inner radii of
the contact surfaces are 100 mm and 50 mm respectively. The maximum axial spring
force is limited to 1 kN. If the coefficient of friction is 0.35 and assuming uniform wear,
find the power transmitted by the clutch at 1500 r.p.m. [Ans. 12.37 kW]
