The formula to calculate the Total Frictional Torque is:
\[ T = \mu_{friction} \cdot W_{t} \cdot D_{shaft} \cdot \csc(\alpha) / 3 \]
Total Torque is the measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis. Force is what causes an object to accelerate in linear kinematics.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ T = 0.4 \cdot 24 \cdot 0.5 \cdot \csc(0.5286) / 3 = 3.17255790534378 \text{ Nm} \]
| Coefficient of Friction (μ) | Load Transmitted (Wt) | Shaft Diameter (Dshaft) | Semi Angle of Cone (α) | Total Torque (T) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.35 | 24 N | 0.5 m | 0.5286 rad | 2.775988167176 Nm |
| 0.4 | 24 N | 0.5 m | 0.5286 rad | 3.172557905344 Nm |
| 0.45 | 24 N | 0.5 m | 0.5286 rad | 3.569127643512 Nm |
