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 face width of friction lining.
(a) None of the listed
(b) 48.1mm
(c) 52.2mm
(d) 56.8mm
I faced this question by my instructor.
Query is from the Cone & Centrifugal Clutches topic in module Friction Clutches, Brakes, Belt Drives and Chain Drives of Machine Design
