Workx 8 Report post Posted January 28 (edited) I was trying to work out a problem from Shingley's book. The problem is below. I calculated cone angle from the length. My answers are not correct. I am wondering if I calculated cone angle correctly. Sin alpha = .5/2.25 = .22 is this correct? A cone clutch has D = 12 in, d = 11 in, a cone length of 2.25 in, and a coefficient of friction of 0.28. A torque of 1.8 kip ? in is to be transmitted. For this requirement, estimate the actuating force and maximum pressure by both models Edited January 28 by Workx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monty01 34 Report post Posted January 30 I'm trying to visualize this in my head, but I'm thinking the angle would be arctan(.5/2.25). Try that and see if you get the correct answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
