Design and Analysis of Multi-Plate Clutch Unit

Abstract

The clutch is a mechanical device that provides for the transfer of energy (and therefore usually movement) of a component (a member of the address) to another (driven). The other component of brake clutch. Multiple disc clutch can be used when a large torque is moving. It is installed inside the unit to the driven shaft to permit axial movement. And the complexity of the disks and external screws are attached to the housing, which is linked to the drive shaft. Using multiple disc clutches widely in cars cars, motorcycles, machine tools, etc., have not usually from the inside they are usually made of stainless steel and bronze external hard drives. The materials used for coating the friction surfaces are made of cork, rubber, cast iron and metal powder. The project objective is to design a multi-plate clutch using empirical formulas. And drafting and 2D drawing plate clutch multiple accounts and a 3D model is created in 3D modeling software Pro / Engineer. We are carrying out structural design analysis of the above to validate the design. We are in the analysis by changing the surfaces of friction materials. When removing the result we will see which is the best material for covering the roofs of friction. And structural analysis plate multi-use properties of the two materials clutch. The materials used for the coating is Cork, powder metallurgy. And compared to the over all materials check out the best materials for the health of the lining of the multi-plate clutch plate in different circumstances coefficient of friction.
