Problem 9.116 The shaft is supported by thrust bear-
ings that subject it to an axial load of 800 N. The coef-
ficients of kinetic friction between the shaft and the left
and right bearings are 0.20 and 0.26, respectively. What
couple is required to rotate the shaft at a constant rate? 38 mm
15 mm
Solution: The left bearing: The parameters are
roD38 mm,
0.26, rD15 mm, and FD800 N. The moment required to sustain a
Problem 9.117 A motor is used to rotate a paddle for
mixing chemicals. The shaft of the motor is coupled
to the paddle using a friction clutch of the type shown
in Fig. 9.17. The radius of the disks of the clutch is
120 mm, and the coefficient of static friction between
the disks is 0.6. If the motor transmits a maximum torque
of 15 N-m to the paddle, what minimum normal force
between the plates of the clutch is necessary to prevent
slipping?
Clutch
Paddle
