Abstract

The analysis of the sliding contact behavior for friction lining is an important issue in design of centrifugal clutches. In this study, a numerical model based on the moment equilibrium and contact mechanics has been developed to analyze the dynamics of a commercial centrifugal clutch. The proposed dynamic model can estimate the rotational speed of initial contact, output torque, and contact pressure for friction lining during the clutch operation. The comparison of the numerical and experimental results for the output torque of the analyzed centrifugal clutch shows the simulation agrees well with the experimental data. The difference for the maximum output torque is around 1.9%, which shows the effectiveness of the proposed method. The proposed dynamic model can reduce unnecessary physical prototypes and experimental cost, and is expected to be used to improve the design of the centrifugal clutches.
