STUDY OF SINGLE PLATE CLUTCH

Presented by:-PANKAJ SHARMA

OVERVIEW
ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION REQUIREMENTS OF CLUTCH MATERIALS USED FOR FRICTION LINING TYPES OF CLUTCHES SINGLE PLATE CLUTCH

A single plate clutch consists of a clutch plate whose both sides are faced with a frictional material. It is mounted on the hub. The pressure plate is mounted inside the clutch body which is bolted to the flywheel. The pressure plate pushes the clutch plate towards the flywheel by means of springs (arranged radially) The aim of the project is to design, model a single plate clutch and perform static & Thermal analysis by applying frictional force and temperatures produced by friction

A Clutch is a machine member used to connect or disconnects the driving shaft to a driven shaft.

Clutch is located in between flywheel and transmission system. Clutches allow a high inertia load to be stated with a small power.

A clutch thus provides an interruptible connection between two rotating shafts.


A popularly known application of clutch is in automotive vehicles. Clutch works on the principles of friction. When properly operated it prevents jerks during power flow.

CONSIDERATIONS IN DESIGNING A FRICTION CLUTCH


The suitable material for the friction surface should be selected. The moving parts of the clutch should have low weight in order to minimize the inertia The clutch should have provision for facilitating repairs. It is usually designed to transmit 125 to150% of the maximum engine torque. Size of clutch should be small. Proper ventilation should be provided for dissipation of heat. Clutch should be positively take the drive with occurrence of sudden jerks.

MATERIALS USED FOR FRICTION LINING


The two materials in contact must have a high coefficient of friction. The materials in contact must resist wear effects, such as scoring, galling, and ablation. The friction value should be constant over a range of temperatures and pressures. The materials should be resistant to the environment (moisture, dust, pressure) The materials should possess good thermal properties, high heat capacity, good thermal conductivity, withstand high temperatures Able to withstand high contact pressures Good shear strength to transferred friction forces to structure Should be safe to use and acceptable for the environment 6

PRESSURE PLATE

A clutch connects and disconnects one rotating mechanical component from another. An automobile clutch transmits torque from the engine to the transmission, and the driver uses a release mechanism to control the flow of the torque between them.. Most light vehicles use a single-plate, friction-type disc, with two friction facings attached to a central hub, splined to accept the transmission input shaft. The friction facings are clamped between the flat surface of the engine flywheel and a spring-loaded pressure-plate, bolted to its outer edge. The input shaft passes through the centre of the pressure plate to engage the splines of the friction disc hub. With engine rotation, the flywheel and clutch assembly rotate as one unit.

Engine torque is transferred from the flywheel, through the friction facings, to the splined hub, and into the transmission. Moving a clutch pedal operates the release mechanism, to control the flow of torque between the two units. Depressing the pedal retracts the pressure plate, against the force of its springs, and frees the friction disc from its clamping action. Releasing the pedal re-applies the clamping force and re-connects the two units. This control is necessary: when placing the transmission into gear, - the transmission input shaft must be disconnected from the engine. when moving the vehicle from rest, - slowly releasing the pedal, gives a gradual engagement of the drive, as the friction facings slip and allow torque to be applied progressively until both units are rigidly connected. when selecting an alternative ratio, that is, changing gears, when the vehicle is in motion - the transmission of engine torque must again be interrupted for this to occur.

and, when bringing the vehicle to a halt, - the transmission must be disengaged to leave the engine running at its idling speed. The amount of torque a clutch can transmit depends on the coefficient of friction between the friction facings and their mating surfaces, the mean radius of the facings, the number of facings in contact, and the total spring force. Increasing the diameter of a clutch increases its torque capacity, as does increasing the spring force. Two or more clutch plates can be used to form a multi-plate clutch, increasing the number of facings, and torque capacity. They are useful where a reduction in diameter is advantageous or where increasing the spring strength is undesirable.
