Question

The two-shoe external drum brake shown in Figure has shoes 80 mm wide that contact 90% of drum surface. For a coefficient of friction of 0.20 and an allowable contact pressure of 400 kN per square meter of projected area, estimate (a) the maximum lever force F that can be used, (b) the resulting braking torque, and (c) the radial load imposed on the shaft bearings. Use the derived short-shoe equations.

Step 1

Given that the allowable contact pressure is 400 kN per square meter and the projected area of the shoe is 80 mm wide, we first need to convert the width to meters: 80 mm = 0.08 m. Show more…
