UNIT 2
Design a cone clutch to transmit a power of 40kW at a rated speed of 750rpm,
taking leather as the friction material with a friction coefficient of 0.35 and
allowable pressure of 0.18MPa. Half cone angle for leather is 12.5o. Also determine
the necessary axial force to transmit the torque. Take Dm/b = 6.
A differential band brake has an operating lever of 225mm. The ends of the brake
band are attached so that their operating arms are 38mm and 127mm long with the
latter forming a part of the length of the operating lever. Brake drum diameter is
600 mm with an arc of contact of 300o. The coefficient of friction can be taken as
0.22. If the band is of dimension 3.2mm x 100mm, determine the least force
required to operate if the band is subjected to a stress of 55 N/mm2. What is torque
applied to the brake drum shaft.

an allowable static bending stress of 51.70 Mpa. The transmission ratio is 5 and
helix angle is 250. The minimum pitch diameter of any gear should not be less than

336rpm. If the arc of contact on the smaller pulley is 1200 and the stress in tight side
