Self-Locking Brake Design Solutions

This document contains two sample problems from a textbook on machine design involving braking systems. Problem 1 involves calculating the forces required to apply a single block brake on a drum rotating clockwise and counter-clockwise. Problem 2 involves calculating the operating force needed for a band brake on a drum rotating counter-clockwise given the braking torque and dimensions of the brake system. Both problems provide the relevant equations and step-by-step working to arrive at the solutions for the required forces.

Problem 1: A single block brake, as shown in the figure, has a drum diameter of 720 mm. If the
brake sustains 225 N-m torque at 500 rpm; find: (a) the required force (P) to apply the brake for
clockwise rotation of the drum; (b) the required force (P) to apply the brake for counter clockwise
rotation of the drum and (c) the location of the fulcrum to make the brake self-locking. The
coefficient of friction is 0.3.

Problem 2: A band brake acts on the 3/4 th 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 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 anticlockwise direction.
