Abstract

A wet-type clutch/brake device is housed about a rotatable shaft within a recess in a flywheel. A cylinder member surrounds the shaft at a position between a brake and a clutch of the device and is urged toward the brake by springs. Air is introduced into a cylinder chamber to urge the cylinder member against the force of the springs toward the clutch. A cover member closes the open end of the recess, and an oil supplying passage extends through the cover member into the recess to supply lubricating and cooling oil to the brake and clutch.
