Friction Clutch & Brake

Friction clutches and brakes use friction discs to transfer torque between rotating parts. The friction discs are flat, smooth surfaces that are attached to the rotating and non-rotating parts of the device. The friction between the discs allows the clutch or brake to transmit torque.
