It calculates the operating force required for a band brake on a drum of 450mm diameter providing 225 N-m of braking torque, with the band attached to lever arms of different lengths. 2. It determines the torque applied, number of turns before stopping, and stopping time for a band brake on a 400kg flywheel running at 300 rpm. 3. It provides another example of calculating the minimum pull required on a band brake arm to absorb 35 kW of power from a 600mm diameter drum running at 200 rpm, and determines the width of a steel band required to withstand the stress without exceeding 50 N/mm2.

    Brake and dynamometer (Lect-4)

    Numerical on Band Brake:

    1. A band brake acts on the 3/4th of circumference of a drum of 450 mm diameter which is keyed to the shaft. The
    band brake provides a braking torque of 225 N-m. One end of the band is attached to a fulcrum pin of the lever
    and the other end to a pin 100 mm from the fulcrum. If the operating force is applied at 500 mm from the
    fulcrum and the coefficient of friction is 0.25, find the operating force when the drum rotates in the (a)
    anticlockwise direction, and (b) clockwise direction.

    Solution:

    Given : d = 450 mm or r = 225 mm = 0.225 m ;


    TB = 225 N-m ;
    b = OB = 100 mm = 0.1 m ;
    l = 500 mm = 0.5 m ;
    µ = 0.25
    Let P = Operating force.
    When the drum rotates in clockwise direction, as shown in Fig.19.11 (a), then taking moments about the fulcrum O, we
    have
    P × l = T1. b
    or P × 0.5 = 1444 × 0.1 = 144.4
    ∴ P = 144.4 / 0.5 = 288.8 N Ans.

    2. The simple band brake, as shown in Fig. 19.12, is applied to a shaft carrying a flywheel of mass 400 kg. The
    radius of gyration of the flywheel is 450 mm and runs at 300 r.p.m. If the coefficient of friction is 0.2 and the
    brake drum diameter is 240 mm, find : 1. the torque applied due to a hand load of 100 N, 2. the number of turns
    of the wheel before it is brought to rest, and 3. the time required to bring it to rest, from the moment of the
    application of the brake.

    Solution.
    Given : m = 400 kg ; k = 450 mm = 0.45 m ; N = 300 r.p.m. or ω = 31.42 rad/s ; µ = 0.2 ; d = 240 mm = 0.24 m or r
    = 0.12 m
    1. Torque applied due to hand load
    First of all, let us find the tensions in the tight and slack sides of the band i.e. T 1 and T2 respectively. From the
    geometry of the Fig. 19.12, angle of lap of the band on the drum,
    n = 196.5
    3. Time required to bring the wheel to rest
    We know that the time required to bring the wheel to rest = n / N = 196.5 / 300 = 0.655 min = 39.3 s Ans.

    3. A simple band brake operates on a drum of 600 mm in diameter that is running at 200 r.p.m. The coefficient of
    friction is 0.25. The brake band has a contact of 270°, one end is fastened to a fixed pin and the other end to the
    brake arm 125 mm from the fixed pin. The straight brake arm is 750 mm long and placed perpendicular to the
    diameter that bisects the angle of contact.
    1. What is the pull necessary on the end of the brake arm to stop the wheel if 35 kW is being absorbed ? What is
    the direction for this minimum pull ?
    2. What width of steel band of 2.5 mm thick is required for this brake if the maximum tensile stress is not to
    exceed 50 N/mm2 ?

    ANS: P = 291 N, w = 64.2 mm

    HINT: First calculate TB, T1, T2 Then calculate P

    To calculate width use- T1 = σ.w.t

    Where w = width of the belt, σ = allowable stress, t = thickness


    of belt
