Requested the 'Spring Clutch' article directly from IST yesterday and received it by email this morning (great, fast response!) They also offered consultant services for anyone needing spring design. I'm not affiliated with them, but from their efforts to get back to me as quickly as they did, I...
Was told that this question my be better off in this forum so I'm reposting it here...
I've been hunting for design equations and calculations to design a wrap spring clutch. I want to calculate the maximum transferrable torque before slippage occurs. I have not been able to find a thing...
JMOwen,
I too am looking for info on designing wrap spring clutches. I haven't been able to source 'The Spring Clutch' paper from IST or the Journal of Applied Mechanics (I could only get papers back to 2000). Can you tell me how you went about getting it?
Thanks!
