Abstract
The unit includes an electromagnet which may be energized to effect shifting of an armature from a clutching position in which the armature couples driving and driven elements to a braking position in which the armature engages a braking member to produce braking of the driven element. The braking member normally is locked against rotation so as to apply a braking torque to the armature and the driven element but may be selectively unlocked and permitted to rotate so as to enable the armature and the driven element to free-wheel.
