FLAT BELT PULLEY DRIVE

Problem 1
Design completely the belt drive to drive a winch from an electric motor of 12 kW power. Speed of the
motor shaft is 900 rpm. Speed ratio is 4. Belt position is horizontal and there is considerable variation
of load. Assume 2% slippage of the belt. Take 100 mm overhang of pulley from the nearest bearing.
The co-efficient of friction between leather belt and CI pulley may be taken as 0.35. Working stress of
the belt material may be taken as 3MPa.
Take CI grade 20 of IS 210-1970 as the material for the pulley. The material density of pulley is 7.2x103
kg/cm3 Allowable bending stress for pulley arms may be taken as 14 MPa.
Initial tension stress on the shaft may be taken as 1.8 MPa.
Allowable shear stress for shaft material is 50MPa.
SINGLE PLATE DISC TYPE FRICTION CLUTCH
Problem 2
A single dry plate friction clutch is to be designed for a bus developing 80kW at 2400 rpm. Overload to
be accommodated is 16%. The coefficient of friction is 0.32 and maximum pressure in the friction
material is not to exceed 0.7 MN/m2. Find:
a) Diameter of the shaft
b) Mean radius and face width of the friction lining assuming the ratio of the mean radius to the
face width as 4
c) Outer and inner radii of the clutch plate and
d) All dimensions of the springs, assuming that the no of springs are 9 and allowable tensile and
shear stress for the spring material are 700 and 500 MPa respectively. Take mean diameter of
the coil spring as 250mm.
INTERNAL EXPANDING BRAKE
Problem 3
The figure( P 487, Fig 12.18, DME by VB Bhandari) given shows the arrangement of two brake shoes
which act on the internal surface of a cylindrical brake drum of 300 mm diameter. The brake shoes are
actuated by a mechanism that exerts the same force F on each shoe. The shoes are identical and have a
face width of 32 mm . The lining is a molded asbestos having a co efficient of friction of 0.32 and a
pressure limitation of 1000kPa. Estimate the
a) Actuating force F
b) Braking capacity
c) Hinge pin reactions.
