A force transmitting assembly transmits force to engage and disengage a driven shaft. When the force transmitting assembly is engaged, front and rear annular pressure plates (32, 34) frictionally retain a rotor (36) fixedly mounted on the shaft and stops rotation of the shaft. The force transmitting assembly maximizes torque and minimizes inertia by providing friction surfaces with friction material (72) substantially engaging the entire working surface of the rotor 36. The force transmitting assembly includes an axially moveable housing attached directly to a mounting flange. |
