A Clutch is a mechanical device which provides for the transmission of power (and therefore usually motion) from one component (the driving member) to another (the driven member). The opposite component of the clutch is the brake.
Clutch is a mechanism which enables the rotary motion of one shaft to be transmitted, when desired, to a second shaft the axis of which is coincident with that of first.
Clutch is used to engage or disengage the engine to the transmission or gear box.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.

2. CLUTCH
A Clutch is a machine member used to connect the
driving shaft to a driven shaft, so that the driven shaft
may be started or stopped without stopping the driving
shaft. A clutch thus provides an interruptible
connection between two rotating shafts.
A popularly known application of clutch is in
automotive vehicles where it is used to connect the
engine and the gear box.
3. Functions of the clutch
To connect and disconnect the shafts
To start or stop a machine (or a rotating element)
without starting and stopping the prime mover.
To maintain constant speed, torque and power.
To reduce shocks transmitted between machine
shafts.
For automatic disconnect, quick start and stop,
gradual starts, and non-reversing and over running
functions.
4. Principles of operation of clucth
When two friction surfaces are brought in connect with
each other and pressed, they are united due to the friction
between them.
The friction between the two surfaces depends upon the
area of the surfaces, pressure applied upon them and
coefficient of friction of the surface materials.
The two surfaces can be separated and brought into
contact when required. One surface is considered as
driving member and the other as driven member.
The driving member is kept rotating. When the driven
member is brought in contact to the driving member, It is
also starts rotating.
5. Required qualities of a good
friction material
A high and uniform coefficient of friction.
The ability to withstand high temperatures, together
with good heat conductivity.
Good resilience.
High resistance to wear, scoring.
Resistance against environmental conditions, such as
moisture, salt water or fungi.
Adequate mechanical and thermal strengths.
6. Commonly used Friction
Materials
Wood
Cork
Leather
Asbestos based friction materials – asbestos
fibres, woven around brass, copper or zinc
wires. Moulded or composite type.
Powdered ( or sintered) metal friction materials
10. Principle of Friction Clutches
Let the shaft A and Disc C be revolving at some speed say N
rpm. Shaft B and disc D keyed to it are stationary, initially
when the clutch is not engaged.
Now apply some axial force W to disc D , so that it comes in
contact with Disc C.
As soon as the contact is made the force of friction between
C and D will come into play and consequently the disc D will
also start revolving
The speed of D depends upon friction force present, which in
turn is proportional to the force W applied.
If W is increased gradually , the speed of D will be increased
correspondingly till the stage comes when speed of D
becomes equal to speed of C. Then clutch is said to be fully
engaged.
11. Continue…
Let
W = axial load applied.
= coefficient of friction
R = effective mean radius of friction surface.
Then ,
T = W R
15. A single disc or plate clutch consists of a clutch plate whose sides
are faced with the friction material. It is mounted on the hub
which is free to move axially along the splines of the driven shaft.
The pressure plate is mounted inside the clutch body which is
bolted to the flywheel. Both the pressure plate and the flywheel
rotate with the engine crankshaft or the driving shaft.
The pressure plate pushes the clutch plate towards the flywheel
by a set of strong spring which is arranged radially inside the
body.
The three levers (also known as release levers or fingers) are
carried on the pivots suspended from the case of the body. These
are arranged in such a manner so that the pressure plate moves
away from the flywheel by the inward movement of a thrust
bearing.
The bearing is mounted upon the forked shaft and moves
forward when the clutch pedal is pressed.
16. Working:
Disengaging the clutch:
When the clutch pedal is pressed down, it’s linkage forces the
thrust bearing to move towards the flywheels and pressing the
pressure plate away from the flywheel thereby the compression
springs are compressed. This action removes the pressure from the
clutch plate and the driving shaft comes to a stationary position.
Engaging the clutch:
On the other hand when the foot is taken off from the clutch pedal,
the thrust bearing moves back by levers this action allows the
springs to extend, and thus pressure plate pushes the clutch plate
back towards the flywheel. The clutch is engaged and power is
transmitted from engine to gearbox.
17. Working of Single plate clutch
Basically, the clutch needs three parts. These are the engine
flywheel, a friction disc called the clutch plate and a pressure
plate.
There are springs which provide axial force to keep the clutch
in engaged position.
When the engine is running and the flywheel is rotating, the
pressure plate also rotates as the pressure plate is attached to
the flywheel. The friction disc is located between the two .
When the driver has pushed down the clutch pedal the
clutch is released. This action forces the pressure plate to
move away from the friction disc against the force of springs.
With this movement of pressure plate , the friction plate is
released and the clutch is disengaged.
22. Multiplate Clutch
The multiplate clutch is an extension of single plate type
where the number of frictional and metal plates is
increased.
Increase in number of friction surfaces obviously increases
capacity of the clutch to transmit torque.
Alternatively, the overall diameter of the clutch is reduced
for the same torque transmission as a single plate clutch
This type of clutch is therefore used in some heavy transport
vehicles and racing cars where high torque is to be
transmitted.
This finds application in case of scooters and motorcycles,
where the space available is limited
23. • When your foot is off the pedal, the springs push the
pressure plate against the clutch disc, which in turn
presses against the flywheel. This locks the engine to the
transmission input shaft, causing them to spin at the
same speed.
• The amount of force the clutch can hold depends on the
friction between the clutch plate and the flywheel, and
how much force the spring puts on the pressure plate
24. When the clutch pedal is pressed, piston pushes on
the release fork, which presses the throw-out bearing
against the middle of the diaphragm spring. As the
middle of the diaphragm spring is pushed in, a series
of pins near the outside of the spring causes the spring
to pull the pressure plate away from the clutch disc
This releases the clutch from the spinning engine.
25. Advantages
• With single plate clutch , gear changing is easier than
with the cone clutch , because the pedal movement is
less in this case.
• More reliable ( As it does not suffer from disadvantage
of cone clutch , i.e. binding of cones)
26. Disadvantages
As compared to cone clutch , springs have to be more
stiff and this means greater force required to be
applied by driver while disengaging.
30. 1. Cones: female= green, male= blue
2. Shaft: male cone is sliding on splines
3. Friction material
4. Spring: brings the male cone back after using the
clutch control
5. Clutch control: separating both cones by pressing
6. Rotating direction: both direction of the axis are
possible
31. In the engaged position the friction surface are in
complete contact. This is done by means of spring
which keep the male cone pressed all the time.
When the clutch is engaged the torque is transmitted
from engine via the flywheel and the male cone to
splined gear box shaft.
For disengaging the clutch , the male cone is pulled out
by means of lever system operated through clutch
pedal thereby separating the contact surfaces.
34. Advantage
The advantage of cone clutch is that the normal force
acting on contact surface in this case is larger than
axial force( as compared to single plate clutch in
which the normal force acting on contact surfaces is
equal to the axial force)
35. Disadvantages
This type of clutch is practically obsolete because of
following reasons:
1) If the angle of cone is made less than about 20 degree,
it will be difficult to disengage the clutch.
2) A small amount of wear on the cone surface results in
considerable amount of axial movement of the male
cone for which it will be difficult to allow.
36. Magnetic Clutch
Magnetic clutches use electric magnets produced to
lock or unlock the engine and the transmission input
shaft, facilitating or terminating the flow of power.
Magnetic brakes use electric magnets to accelerate,
decelerate or stop rotation.
38. Electromagnetic Clutch
The clutch has flywheel consists of winding. The
electricity is supplied by the battery. When the
electricity passes through winding it produces the
electromagnetic field which causes it to attract the
pressure plate to get engaged. When the electricity
supply is cut off the clutch is disengaged.
40. Centrifugal clutch
In fully centrifugal type clutches ,the springs are
eliminated altogether and only centrifugal force is
used to apply the required pressure for keeping the
clutch in engaged position
41. Working of Centrifugal Clutch
As the engine rotates, the inside assembly of the centrifugal
clutch starts rotating but drum remains stationary and no power
is transmitted. At lower speed, the centrifugal force produced is
not sufficient to overcome the spring force. So the clutch remains
disengaged. But as the speed increases, the centrifugal force also
increases and now the centrifugal force becomes greater than the
spring force.
As the centrifugal force becomes greater than the spring force,
this allows the sliding shoes to move outward against the spring
and get engaged with the inner surface of the drum.
The drum starts rotating and transfers the rotating power from
the engine to the driven shaft of the transmission.
When the load on the engine increases, its speed decreases and
disengages the clutch.
42.
43.
44. Advantages of centrifugal clutches
No separate clutch plate is required
Clutch is operated automatically depending upon
engine speed
