A brake assembly for a shaft (50) includes a series of brake disks (121, 125) interconnected to the shaft (50) by rectangular tabs (122). The tabs extend off of the circumference of the inner hole (123) of disk (121) at an angle substantially 20 degrees in respect to a line perpendicular or normal to the circumference of the inner hole (123) at the root of the tab (122). This concentrates the transfer of torque near the intersection between the tab (122) and friction disk (121). The tabs (122) may also be reinforced by bending an extra length tab (122a) back on itself as well as by other means. The friction disk (121) may utilize both splines (129) and tabs (122) to connect the disk to the shaft (50).
