Answer 19

Centrifugal shoe coupling

Question 20

These clutches are usually engaged by mechanaily shifting levers and this clutch can be engaged at very low speeds , but can disengaged as long as it’s not making high tourque.
. Power transfer is jaw to jaw contact
. Accusation method is mechanical sliding one jaw by a lever , electric Solenoid , pneumatic cylinder or hydraulic cylinder

Answer 20

Square jaw a clutches

Question 21

The clutch can be engaged at higher speeds than the square jaw

Answer 21

Spiral jaw clutches

Question 22

This clutch can be activated mechanically or electrically ,one hub of the clutch must be free to slide on a key or spline to allow for engagement
.power transfer is tooth to tooth contact
. Actuation method is most often by electric solenoid

Answer 22

Multiple tooth clutches

Question 23

Answer 23

Electromagnetically activated

Question 24

This cluch uses wedging power , the smaller the angle the greater the wedging power

Answer 24

Cone clutches

Question 25

If the load on the output exceeds the strength the clutch slips , they are used for light high speed applications

Answer 25

Hysteresis

Question 26

These clutches consist of two drums running very close to each other , similar to hysteriss clutches expect have soft iron rotors

Answer 26

Eddy current clutches

Question 27

These are used in extremely low power applications and moderate large torque loads , the more wraps on the spring the greater the power it can transmit

Answer 27

Wrap - spring clutches

Question 28

This coupling need no lubrication. In this type of coupling, a flat centre member is connected between metallic disks which are bolted to the hubs.This is a double-engagement coupling. The transinission of power is from hub to disk to centre member to other disk to other hub.
This coupling allow highspeed operation and are well balanced.
Torsional characteristics are very stiff and allow this coupling to be used where no backlash is permitted.

Answer 28

Metallic disk couplings

Question 29

This coupling transmits the torque
between the driver and the pump adequately if the shafts rotate in the direction of the
thread of the coupling.

Answer 29

Threaded coupling

Question 30

are used in heavy load and torque services. The two halves of the
coupling are split parallel to the shafts’ axes and have machined keyways in both shafts.
They can be made of steel or cast iron. Over-tightening the cast iron couplings can lead to

Answer 30

Ribbed couplings

Question 31

These couplings are not recommended on drives where excessive misalignment is likely to occur. Misalignment causes the bushings to wear quickly, and an increase in vibration may result. This coupling works well on reversing drives and can compensate for some axial end float between the machine’s shafts.

Answer 31

Pin and rubber bushing coupling

Question 32

are used to connect shafts that intersect at angles greater than can be accommodated by flexible couplings. If the alignment is too accurate the needles in the joint do not rotate. This may cause false brinelling and lubrication problems. There are many applications for universal joints in industrial applications. The three types of universal joints are: single, double, and constant velocity.

Answer 32

Single Universal joint

Question 33

are used where the joint angles are unequal (Figure 33) or when a single CV joint is used and constant velocity output is required. They produce a very even and smooth transfer of power with no fluctuations in speed. These can be made in several ways.

Question 35

Thus coupling usees a mechanical contact between the ———
