Multi Plate Disk Clutch Design

Internally expanding friction shoes are held in contact, by the force due to rotation against the force of a light spring. The torque capacity increases as the speed increases.


Torque capacity T= n x torque for one plate

where:

n=number of pairs of surfaces (6 in the example shown in the figure).
