Clutches and Brakes Brakes and clutches
• Clutch is a device that connects and disconnects two collinear shafts. – Similar to couplings – Friction and hence heat dissipation • Purpose of a Brake is to stop the rotation of a shaft. • Braking action is produced by friction as a stationary part bears on a moving part. – Heat dissipation is a problem – Brake fade during continuous application of braking due to heat generated Brakes and clutches are essentially the same devices. Each is associated with rotation
• Brakes, absorb kinetic energy of the moving bodies and covert it to heat • Clutches Transmit power between two shafts Types of Brakes
• Band • Rim/Drum – Internal shoe – External shoe • Disk • Cone • Many others Braking
• Forces applied • Torque regenerated to ‘brake’ • Energy is lost :HEAT • Temperature rise of brake materials Energy Considerations

Brake Friction Materials
• Sintered metal – Cu +Fe+ Friction modifiers • Cermet: sintered metal + ceramic content • Asbestos – (not used any more in general applications)
Characteristics:
• High friction f=0.3 to 0.5 • Repeatable friction • Invariant to environment conditions • Withstand high temps – 1500F cermet – 1000f sintered metal – 600-1000 asbestos • Some Flexibility Model of Clutch/Brake Remove relative rotation Clutches: Couple two shafts together

p is function of θ.
Largest pressure on the shoe is pa
Fig. 16–5 Pressure Distribution Characteristics • Pressure distribution is sinusoidal • For short shoe, as in (a), the largest pressure on the
shoe is pa at the end of the shoe • For long shoe, as in (b),
the largest pressure is pa at qa = 90º

For uniform wear, w is constant, so PV is constant.
Setting p = P, and V = rw, the maximum pressure pa occurs where r is minimum, r = d/2,
