Unit V CLUTCHES

A Clutch is a machine member used to connect the driving shaft to a driven shaft, so that the driven shaft may be started or stopped without stopping the driving shaft. A clutch thus provides an interruptible connection between two rotating shafts. A popularly known application of clutch is in automotive vehicles where it is used to connect the engine and the gear box.

Functions of the clutch To connect and disconnect the shafts To start or stop a machine (or a rotating element) without starting and stopping the prime mover. To maintain constant speed, torque and power. To reduce shocks transmitted between machine shafts. For automatic disconnect, quick start and stop, gradual starts, and non-reversing and over running functions.

Principles of operation of clucth When two friction surfaces are brought in connect with each other and pressed, they are united due to the friction between them. The friction between the two surfaces depends upon the area of the surfaces, pressure applied upon them and coefficient of friction of the surface materials. The two surfaces can be separated and brought into contact when required. One surface is considered as driving member and the other as driven member. The driving member is kept rotating. When the driven member is brought in contact to the driving member, It is also starts rotating.

Required qualities of a good friction material A high and uniform coefficient of friction. The ability to withstand high temperatures, together with good heat conductivity. Good resilience. High resistance to wear, scoring. Resistance against environmental conditions, such as moisture, salt water or fungi. Adequate mechanical and thermal strengths.

Commonly used Friction Materials Wood Cork Leather Asbestos based friction materials – asbestos fibres, woven around brass, copper or zinc wires. Moulded or composite type. Powdered ( or sintered) metal friction materials

Classification of clutches

Friction Clutches The friction clutches work on the fact that friction is caused when two rotating discs come into contact with each other

Principle of Friction Clutches

Let the shaft A and Disc C be revolving at some speed say N rpm Let the shaft A and Disc C be revolving at some speed say N rpm. Shaft B and disc D keyed to it are stationary, initially when the clutch is not engaged. Now apply some axial force W to disc D , so that it comes in contact with Disc C. As soon as the contact is made the force of friction between C and D will come into play and consequently the disc D will also start revolving The speed of D depends upon friction force present, which in turn is proportional to the force W applied. If W is increased gradually , the speed of D will be increased correspondingly till the stage comes when speed of D becomes equal to speed of C. Then clutch is said to be fully engaged.

Continue… Let W = axial load applied. = coefficient of friction R = effective mean radius of friction surface. Then , T = W R

DRY FRICTION CLUTCHES Types: Single Plate clutch Multi plate clutch Cone clutch Semi-centrifugal clutch Centrifugal clutch

SINGLE PLATE CLUTCH

Multiplate Clutch

Multiple plate clutch driver driven Pressure plates Friction plates 2 1 4 3 6 5

Multiplate Clutch The multiplate clutch is an extension of single plate type where the number of frictional and metal plates is increased. Increase in number of friction surfaces obviously increases capacity of the clutch to transmit torque. Alternatively, the overall diameter of the clutch is reduced for the same torque transmission as a single plate clutch This type of clutch is therefore used in some heavy transport vehicles and racing cars where high torque is to be transmitted. This finds application in case of scooters and motorcycles, where the space available is limited

When your foot is off the pedal, the springs push the pressure plate against the clutch disc, which in turn presses against the flywheel. This locks the engine to the transmission input shaft, causing them to spin at the same speed. The amount of force the clutch can hold depends on the friction between the clutch plate and the flywheel, and how much force the spring puts on the pressure plate

When the clutch pedal is pressed, piston pushes on the release fork, which presses the throw-out bearing against the middle of the diaphragm spring. As the middle of the diaphragm spring is pushed in, a series of pins near the outside of the spring causes the spring to pull the pressure plate away from the clutch disc This releases the clutch from the spinning engine.

Working of Single plate clutch Basically, the clutch needs three parts. These are the engine flywheel, a friction disc called the clutch plate and a pressure plate. There are springs which provide axial force to keep the clutch in engaged position. When the engine is running and the flywheel is rotating, the pressure plate also rotates as the pressure plate is attached to the flywheel. The friction disc is located between the two . When the driver has pushed down the clutch pedal the clutch is released. This action forces the pressure plate to move away from the friction disc against the force of springs. With this movement of pressure plate , the friction plate is released and the clutch is disengaged.

Advantages With single plate clutch , gear changing is easier than with the cone clutch , because the pedal movement is less in this case. More reliable ( As it does not suffer from disadvantage of cone clutch , i.e. binding of cones)

Disadvantages As compared to cone clutch , springs have to be more stiff and this means greater force required to be applied by driver while disengaging.

Cone Clutch

Cone Clutch

Cones: female= green, male= blue Shaft: male cone is sliding on splines Friction material Spring: brings the male cone back after using the clutch control Clutch control: separating both cones by pressing Rotating direction: both direction of the axis are possible

In the engaged position the friction surface are in complete contact In the engaged position the friction surface are in complete contact. This is done by means of spring which keep the male cone pressed all the time. When the clutch is engaged the torque is transmitted from engine via the flywheel and the male cone to splined gear box shaft. For disengaging the clutch , the male cone is pulled out by means of lever system operated through clutch pedal thereby separating the contact surfaces.

Cone-clutch w α = semi-apex angle of the cone α Driven shaft Driving shaft Driven shaft Friction lining α w α = semi-apex angle of the cone

Advantage The advantage of cone clutch is that the normal force acting on contact surface in this case is larger than axial force( as compared to single plate clutch in which the normal force acting on contact surfaces is equal to the axial force)

Disadvantages This type of clutch is practically obsolete because of following reasons: 1) If the angle of cone is made less than about 20 degree, it will be difficult to disengage the clutch. 2) A small amount of wear on the cone surface results in considerable amount of axial movement of the male cone for which it will be difficult to allow.

Centrifugal clutch In fully centrifugal type clutches ,the springs are eliminated altogether and only centrifugal force is used to apply the required pressure for keeping the clutch in engaged position

Advantages of centrifugal clutches No separate clutch plate is required Clutch is operated automatically depending upon engine speed

DESIGN OF A CENTRIFUGAL CLUTCH MASS OF THE SHOES: n= Number of shoes m= Mass of each shoe R= Inside radius of the pulley rim r= Distance of entre of gravity of the shoes from the centre of the spider N= Running speed of the pulley ω= Angular speed of the pulley = 2πN/ 60 ω1= Angular speed at which the engagement begins to take place μ= Coefficient of friction between the shoe and rim.

Contd… Centrifugal force acting on each shoe, Fc = mω2r Spring force exerted by each spring on the shoe, Fs = mω12r Net outward force on the shoe = Fc-Fs= mω2r-mω12r Frictional force acting on each shoe, F=μ(Fc-Fs) Frictional torque acting on each shoe,Tr=F×R = μ(Fc-Fs) Frictional torque acting on each shoe, Tr = F×R = μ(Fc-Fs)R Total frictional torque transmitted T= n×μ(Fc-Fs)R = n.F.R

Contd… Size of the shoes: l= Contact length of the shoes b= Width of the shoes R= Contact radius of the shoes θ= Angle subtended by the shoes at the centre of the spider, p= Intensity of pressure exerted on the shoe l=R.θ Area of contact of the shoe A= l.b Net force acting on the shoe = Fc-Fs =A×p = l.b.p
