Module 4: Design of Clutches and Brakes

20267m

A plate clutch consists of one pair of contacting surfaces and transmits 20 kW power at 750 rpm. The ratio of outer diameter to inner diameter is 2. The coefficient of friction is 0.2 and the permissible intensity of pressure is 1 N/mm². Assuming uniform wear theory, calculate the inner and outer diameters.
