A cone clutch transmits 24kW at 490rpm. The coefficient of friction is 0.2 and allowable intensity of pressure is 0.35N/mm². The semi cone angle is 12⁰. The outer diameter is fixed as 310mm.Assuming uniform wear theory; find the inner diameter.
(a) 275mm
(b) 300mm
(c) 290mm
(d) 280mm
I was tested on this in a scholarship test.
I encountered this question in the Cone & Centrifugal Clutches concept in module Friction Clutches, Brakes, Belt Drives and Chain Drives of Machine Design
