Abstract

See full text

A drag brake mechanism prevents rotation of the shaft of a truck mounted connect-disconnect, clutch-operated, power takeoff device when the clutch is in its disconnect mode, by applying a constant braking force to the shaft which cannot be overcome by inadvertent frictional forces within the discs of the clutch that may occur despite the clutch being in its disconnect mode. The constant force selected, however, is insufficient to create undue heat during normal shaft rotation and is easily overcome when the clutch is placed in its connect mode.
