ABSTRACT:
A clutch/brake apparatus for alternatively connecting a driven shaft to a driving member and to a stationary member which distributes the mass of its components to maximize the effective rotational inertia of the driving member and to minimize the effective rotational inertia of the driven shaft. Sets of interleaved brake plates are respectively mounted to the driven shaft and the stationary member and sets of interleaved clutch plates are respectively mounted to the driven shaft and the driving member. A clutch operator for urging the clutch plates together when it is moved in a first axial direction is connected to rotate with the driving member and a brake operator for urging the brake plates together when it is moved in a second axial direction is rotationally stationary and is connected by a bearing to move axially with the clutch operator. An actuator for moving the clutch and brake operators axially is connected to rotate with the driving member so that the effective mass of the driving member is maximized and the effective mass of the driven shaft is minimized.
