4. Conventional loading device
These are IC engines test rig. Here, for testing engine performance a external torque load is applied by
this conventional loading device
Disadvantages : size is not compact and application of constant torque is difficult
15. Parts of loading component
The main parts of this system is composed of
Tapered sleeve or tapered bush with 6 degree of taperness, partial external
thread and a through cut
Housing which contains inner tapered bore to accommodate the bushs taperness
and Internal step on left face
Nut contains internal thread to match the external thread of the bush and
external step to match the internal step of the housing
16. Bush nomenclature

17. Housing nomenclature
a housing contains inner tapered bore to accommodate the
bushs taperness. Internal step on left face is machined to
accommodate nut.

18. Nut nomenclature
Nut contains internal thread to match the
external thread of the bush and external step to
match the internal step of the housing made of
mild steel

21. Working of the loading component
The tapered bush is inserted inside the housing such way that the treaded part of
the bush alone is expelled out of the housing
22. Working of the loading component
The nut is made to travel over the external thread of the bush. As nut is rotated,
it get advanced forward till the external step on nut meets the internal step of
the housing beyond which the forward travel of nut is restricted. still as when
keep on rotating the nut, the tapered bush containing a through cut on other
hand shrinks itself and comes out by closing the gap between it. Therefore the
inner diameter of the bush is reduced thus tightening the shaft, loading torque is
applied.

23. Working of the loading component
Before tightening After tightening
inner diameter of the bush is reduced by tightening
25. Analytical modeling of loading component
This loading device is modeled such a way that it exhibits sequential
combination of three mechanisms
1. Nut and bolt mechanism (achieving tightening force by interaction
between nut, housing and tapered bush )
2. Cone clutch mechanism (achieving contact pressure between
housing and tapered bush )
3. External shoe brakes (achieving braking torque by tapered bush on
loading shaft )

38. Influencing parameters
Thus the braking torque of this device depends on three parameters
1. Coefficient of friction, l
2. Force applied F on lever of length L
3. Nut factor, K
