If the outer and inner radius of the contact surfaces are 100 mm and 75 mm respectively and the semi cone angle is 22.5Â°, find the value of the face width required.

Mechanical Engineering : Theory of Machines - Quiz(MCQ)

23.87 mm

65.33 mm

78.94 mm

89.43 mm

Correct Answer : Option (B) : 65.33 mm

Explanation : In a conical clutch b sinα = r1 – r2
b x sin 22.5° = 100 – 75
b = 65.33 mm.

A rotor which is balanced statically but not dynamically is supported on two bearings L apart and at high speed of the rotor, reaction on the left bearing is R. The right side of the bearing is shifted to a new position 2 L apart from the left bearing. At the same rotor speed, dynamic reaction on the left bearing in the new arrangement will

become equal to 2 R

become equal to R/2

become equal to R/4

remain same as before
