FRICTION OF PIVOT AND COLLAR BEARING

o The rotating shafts are frequently subjected to axial thrust.

o The bearing surfaces such as pivot and collar bearings are used to take this axialthrust of the rotating shaft.

o The propeller shafts of ships,

o The shafts of steam turbines, and

o vertical machine shafts are examples of shafts which carry an axial thrust.

In the study of friction of bearings, it is assumed that

1. The pressure is uniformly distributed throughout the bearing surface.

When new bearing, the contact between the shaft and bearing may be good over thewhole surface.

In other words, we can say that the pressure over the rubbing surfaces is uniformlydistributed.

2. The wear is uniform throughout the bearing surface.

when the bearing becomes old, all parts of the rubbing surface will not move with thesame velocity, because the velocity of rubbing surface increases with the distance fromthe axis of the bearing.

This means that wear may be different at different radii and this causes to alter thedistribution of pressure.

The rate of wear depends upon the intensity of pressure (p) and the velocity ofrubbing surfaces (v).

It is assumed that the rate of wear is proportional to the product of intensity ofpressure and the velocity of rubbing surfaces (i.e. p.v..).

Since the velocity of rubbing surfaces increases with the distance (i.e. radius r) fromthe axis of the bearing, therefore for uniform wear p.r=C (a constant) or p =C/r and

A friction clutch has its principal application in the transmission of power of shafts and machineswhich must be started and stopped frequently.

Its application is also found in cases in which power is to be delivered to machines partially or fullyloaded.

The force of friction is used to start the driven shaft from rest and gradually brings it up to theproper speed without excessive slipping of the friction surfaces.

In operating such a clutch, care should be taken so that the friction surfaces engage easily and gradually brings the driven shaft up to proper speed.

1. The contact surfaces should develop a frictional force that may pick up and hold the load with reasonably low pressure between the contact surfaces.

2. The heat of friction should be rapidly dissipated tendency to grab should be at a minimum.

3. The surfaces should be backed by a material stiff enough to ensure a reasonably uniform distribution of pressure.

1.The above equations are valid for steady operation of the clutch and after the clutchis engaged.

2. If the clutch is engaged when one member is stationary and the other rotating (i.e.during engagement of the clutch) as shown in Fig. 10.26 (b), then the cone faces willtend to slide on each other due to the presence of relative motion. Thus an additionalforce (of magnitude equal to μ.Wn.cos) acts on the clutch which resists theengagement and the axial force required for engaging the clutch increases.

∴Axial force required for engaging the clutch,

We = W + μ.Wn cos

= Wn sin + μ.Wn cos

= Wn (sin + μ cos )

3. Under steady operation of the clutch, a decrease in the semi-cone angle () increasesthe torque produced by the clutch (T ) and reduces the axial force (W ). During engagingperiod, the axial force required for engaging the clutch (We) increases under theinfluence of friction as the angle α decreases. The value of α can not be decreased muchbecause smaller semi-cone angle () requires larger axial force for its disengagement.

For free disengagement of the clutch, the value of tan must be greater than μ. In casethe value of tan α is less than μ, the clutch will not disengage itself and the axial forcerequired to disengage the clutch is given by

Wd = Wn (μ cos – sin)

A conical friction clutch is used to transmit 90 kW at 1500 r.p.m. The semicone angle is 20º andthe coefficient of friction is 0.2. If the mean diameter of the bearing surface is 375 mm and theintensity of normal pressure is not to exceed 0.25 N/mm2, find the dimensions of the conicalbearing surface and the axial load required.

• Asbestos-based materials and sintered metals are commonly used for friction lining.

• There are two types of asbestos friction disks: woven and moulded.

• A woven asbestos friction disk consists of asbestos fibre woven with endless circular weave

around brass, copper or zinc wires and then impregnated with rubber or asphalt. The endless

circular weave increases the bursting strength.

• Moulded asbestos friction disks are prepared by moulding the wet mixture of brass chips and

asbestos.

• The woven materials are flexible, have higher coefficient of friction, conform more readily to

clutch surface, costly and wear at faster rate compared to moulded materials. Asbestos materials

are less heat resistant even at low temperature.

• Sintered-metal friction materials have higher wear resistance, high temperature-resistant,

constant coefficient of friction over a wide range of temperature and pressure, and are unaffected

by environmental conditions. They also offer lighter, cheaper and compact construction of friction

clutches.
