This question is for my assignment in subject Mechanical System Design. Hope can help me to answer this question. Thank you.
Hey Nik, hope this will help.
In order to design a friction clutch there are several points must be kept in mind:
-The material for contact surfaces must be carefully selected.
-For high speed devices to minimize the inertia load of the clutch, low weight moving parts must be selected.
-The contact of the friction surfaces must be maintained at all times without the application of any external forces.
-Provisions for the facilitation of repairs must be there.
-In order to increase the safety the projecting parts of a clutch must be covered.
-A provision to take up the wearing of the contact surfaces must be present.
-Heat dissipaters to take away the heat from the point if contacting surfaces must be there.
