COUPLING, CLUTCHES

AND BRAKES
Coupling
 A coupling is a device used to connect or couple two shafts

coupling coupling

Oldham
coupling
 Sleeve or muff coupling
 A key and sleeve use
to transmit power from
one shaft to the other
shaft.
 The main disadvantage
of this coupling is that it
is difficult to assemble
when there is no perfect
alignment between
shafts
 Clamp or split muff or compression
coupling
 In this coupling, the muff
or sleeve is made into
two halves parts of cast
iron and they are join
together by means of
mild steel studs and
nuts.
 The advantages of this
coupling is that assembling
of the coupling is possible
without change the
position of shaft.
 This coupling is used for
heavy power transmission
at moderate speed.
 Flange coupling
 This coupling is having
two separate cast iron
flanges.
 Each flange is mounted
on the shaft end and
keyed to it.
 This coupling
prevent catching
clothes of workman.
 This flange couplings is
most accurate and rigid.
 It is used for heavy power
transmission at low
speed.
 Bush pin type flange coupling
 This is modified form of protected
type flange coupling.
 This type of coupling has a pins
and it work as acoupling bolts.
 The rubber or leather bushes are
used over the pins.
 This coupling is used to connect of
shafts which having the small
parallel misalignment, angular
misalignment and axial
displacement.
 This type of coupling is mostly
used to couple an electric motor
and machine.
 Universal coupling
 Universal coupling
consists of two similar
forks keyed on the ends
of the two shafts.
 This coupling is used to
connect two shafts whose
axis intersect.
 It also used to connect
two shafts, where the
angle between two
shafts may be varied
when they rotate.
 It is widely used in
automobile and machine
tools.
 Oldham’s coupling
 It consist of two
flange and a central
floating disc.
 This coupling is used
in connecting two
parallel shafts but not
in alignment, and their
axis are at small
distance apart.
 Clutches
 Clutches is used to transmit the power from driving shaft to driven
shaft of machine which may be required to start or stopfrequently.

Cone Clutch Disc clutches

 The cone clutch consists two  This type of clutch consists of two
cones, one internal cone fixed to flanges, oneflange is rigidly to the
the driven shaft and another driving shaft and other flange
cone fitted on the driven shaft. fitted to the driven shaft.
 Centrifugal clutch
 It consists of a number of shoes on the inside of a
drum or rim of the pulley.
 But, when centrifugal force higher than the spring force, the shoes
moves outward and comes into contact with the driven member
and pressure against it.
 The increase of speed causes the shoes to press harder and
clutch transmit more power.
Brakes
 A brake is a mechanical device which produces frictional resistance against
moving machine member, in order to slow down the motion of machine.

 Block Brake
Single block or shoe brake
 A single block is consists of a
block which is pressed against
the rim of revolving brake wheel
drum.
Double block or shoe brake
 It consists of two brake
blocks at the opposite
ends of the wheel.
 These shoes apply force to
both sides of wheel and
reduces the unbalanced force
on the shaft.
Band Brake
 A band brake consists of a flexible steel band lined
 with friction material, which wrap to the brake drum.
 When an upward force is applied to the lever end, the lever turns about the
fulcrum pin and tightens the band on the drum and hence the brakes are
applied.
Internal expanding shoe brake
 Two shoe is pivoted at one end
about a fixed fulcrum and other end
rests against cam.
 When the cam is operated, the shoe
are pushed outwards against brake
drum.
Disc Brake
 Disc brakes are different from drum
brakes in that the drum is replaced
by a circular metal disc and the brake
shoes are replaced by a caliper which
supports a pair of friction pads, one
on each side of the disc.
 These pads are forced inward by the
operating force and so retard the
disc.
