ELECTRO-MAGNETIC CLUTCH
During operation there is some pressure operating over the face of the clutch plate
-given F = pA.
p= hydraulic pressure and A = the surface area
It is also noted that the frictional force on the face of the clutch is simply the normal
force (F) times the coefficient of friction force materials (μ).
Where “Pa “ is the applied pressure where “D” is the large diameter of the clutch plate
