Problem:

1. A plate clutch has a single pair of mating friction surfaces 300 mm OD and 225
mm ID. The mean value of the coefficient of friction is 0.25 and the actuating
force is 6 kN. Find the maximum pressure acting on the clutch surface using
uniform wear theory. Ans. 226.8 kPa

2. A band brake is to absorb 5 HP at 200 rpm. The maximum pressure of the lining
and the drum is 240 psi. The angle of wrap is 3.6 rad, the width of the band is 4.5
inches and f= 0.15. find the force at the tight side. The diameter of the drum is 8
inches. Ans. 4320 lbs
3. A 3/8 in flat leather belt, 6- in wide is used on a 24 in diameter pulley rotating 600
rpm. The specific weight of the belt is 0.035 lb/cu. In. the angle of contact is 150
deg. If the coefficient of friction is 0.3 and the allowable stress is 300 psi, how
much HP can it transmit? Ans. 34.75

4. Find the module of a 20 deg full depth involute tooth having a circular pitch of
16mm and a whole depth of 16mm. Ans. 5.1 mm
5. A plate clutch with two plates has 300mm OD and 225mm ID. The coefficient of
friction is 0.25 and the max pressure is 825 kPa. If the driver rotates at 400 rpm,
find the power that can be handled based on uniform wear theory clutch. Ans. 30
kW

6. Flat belt is used to connect two pulleys rotating in opposite direction with center
distance of 130 cm. The diameters of the two pulleys are 36 cm and 48 cm.
Determine the length of the belt. Ans. 405.5 cm
7. A parallel helical gear set uses a 17-tooth pinion driving a 34-tooth gear. The
pinion is a right-handed, helix angle of 30 deg, a normal pressure angle of 20 deg
and a normal diametral pitch of 5 teeth/in. Find the transverse pitch. Ans. 4.33 in

8. A flywheel weighing 500 kg has a radius of gyration of 1200 mm. The flywheel
reaches a maximum speed of 120 rpm and slows down to 60 rpm. Determine the
energy released by the flywheel. Ans. 42.65 kN-m
9. Determine the width of a 6-ply rubber belt required for a ventilating fan running at
150 rpm driven from a 12-inch pulley on a 52.5 HP at 800 rpm. The center
distance between pulleys is 12 ft and the rated net belt tension is 78 lb/ in. width.
Ans. 9 in

10. Determine the radial load exerted by a spur gear if it rotates at 1200 rpm and
transmits 90 HP. The pitch diameter is 5 inches and the pressure angle is 14.5
deg. Ans. 489 lb
