A stator or rotor of a brake or clutch mechanism having pairs of stamped plates riveted together in back-to-back relationship forming sector-shaped segmental members for frictional engagement with other parts of the mechanism. Torque links between the segmental members have flanges which are connected to lugs on one of the plates of each pair forming an annulus in which the movement of the segmental members is controlled while at the same time clearance is provided for contraction and expansion. The flanges on the torque link members have a thickness substantially equal to the thickness of one of the plates and a channel portion having a thickness substantially equal to the thickness of the pair of plates providing segmental members of substantial thickness made from stampings and requiring a minimum of machining.
