Abstract:

A Clutch is a machine element used to connect a driving shaft to the driven shaft, so that the driven shaft can be given power or stopped at wheel, without stopping the driving shaft. Clutches are designed for the transfer of maximum torque from the engine with minimum heat generation. During engagement and disengagement the two clutch discs have an axial sliding motion between them. The clutch is allowed to engage the transmission system gradually only with a certain amount of slippage between the flywheel and the pressure plate. The paper contains the designing and analysis of diaphragm spring used for the generation of clamping load. The design of single plate clutch is done for Force Motors New Vehicle and is drawn by using theoretical calculation results. For designing of the diaphragm spring, 3d modelling software used is CATIA V5.0. Structural analysis is done to find the stress distribution on the model. With the analysis results, we check whether the design is safe or not, comparing the result with theoretical calculation and theoretical results. For structural analysis HYPERMESH software is used.
