Lubrication system for an oil shear clutch/brake drive

摘要

A clutch/brake drive has a brake unit and a clutch unit. The brake unit and clutch unit each include a plurality of interleaved friction plates. The lubrication for the clutch/brake unit includes a plurality of axial and redial passages formed into the friction plates of both the brake unit and the clutch unit. This ensures continuous and adequate supply of lubricant to the clutch and brake to reduce friction and remove generated heat.
