A clutch-brake assembly is utilized to rotate a shaft and transmit force to retain the shaft against rotation. The clutch-brake assembly includes a wedge member which is disposed in a central opening in a base member. An actuator is operable to move the wedge member relative to the base member. A seal assembly is disposed in the central opening in the base member. A plurality of force transmission members transm it force when a friction surface is pressed against a clutch surface and when a friction surface is pressed against a brake surface. Each of the force transmission members extends around and at least partially encloses a spring. Guide members are advantageously utilized to position components of the clutch-brake assembly relative to each other duri ng formation of the clutch-brake assembly. |
