This paper deals with slotted clutch plate mechanism can be used for engagement and disengagement of engine for the transmission system instead of the conventional one. This slotted clutch plate consists of slots which have bars inserted on them containing teeth which engage with teeth present on flywheel such that the teeth on flywheel apply force on clutch plate teeth to generate torque required to rotate the clutch plate. The engagement of teeth is not like meshing in gears; here teeth align such that the teeth of clutch plate obstruct the free rotation of the teeth on flywheel due to which the clutch plate teeth are pushed thus rotating the clutch plate. This paper also covers the design parameters of the slotted clutch plate and also includes the stress analysis using ANSYS.

Abstract


This paper deals with slotted clutch plate mechanism can be used for engagement and disengagement of engine for the transmission system instead of the conventional one. This slotted clutch plate consists of slots which have bars inserted on them containing teeth which engage with teeth present on flywheel such that the teeth on flywheel apply force on clutch plate teeth to generate torque required to rotate the clutch plate. The engagement of teeth is not like meshing in gears; here teeth align such that the teeth of clutch plate obstruct the free rotation of the teeth on flywheel due to which the clutch plate teeth are pushed thus rotating the clutch plate. This paper also covers the design parameters of the slotted clutch plate and also includes the stress analysis using ANSYS.
