Coefficient of Friction of Clutch given Friction Radius

Go Coefficient of Friction Clutch = Friction Torque on Clutch/(Axial Force for Clutch*Friction Radius of Clutch)

Friction Radius of Clutch given Friction Torque

Go Friction Radius of Clutch = Friction Torque on Clutch/(Coefficient of Friction Clutch*Axial Force for Clutch)

Axial Force on Clutch given Friction Radius

Go Axial Force for Clutch = Friction Torque on Clutch/(Coefficient of Friction Clutch*Friction Radius of Clutch)

Friction Torque on Clutch given Friction Radius

Go Friction Torque on Clutch = Coefficient of Friction Clutch*Axial Force for Clutch*Friction Radius of Clutch

Rated Torque of Clutch given Torque Capacity

Go Rated Torque of Friction Clutch = Torque Capacity for Clutch/Service Factor for Clutch

Torque Capacity of Clutch

Go Torque Capacity for Clutch = Service Factor for Clutch*Rated Torque of Friction Clutch

Service Factor for Clutch

Go Service Factor for Clutch = Torque Capacity for Clutch/Rated Torque of Friction Clutch

Friction Radius of Clutch given Outer and Inner Diameter

Go Friction Radius of Clutch = (Outer Diameter of Clutch+Inner Diameter of Clutch)/4

Inner Diameter of Clutch given Friction Radius

Go Inner Diameter of Clutch = (4*Friction Radius of Clutch)-Outer Diameter of Clutch

Outer Diameter of Clutch given Friction Radius

Go Outer Diameter of Clutch = (4*Friction Radius of Clutch)-Inner Diameter of Clutch

Torque Capacity of Clutch Formula

Torque Capacity for Clutch = Service Factor for Clutch*Rated Torque of Friction Clutch
Mt_r = K_s*M_Trated

What is a clutch?

The clutch is a mechanical device, which is used to connect or disconnect the source of power from the remaining parts of the power transmission system at the will of the operator.
