Abstract
An electromagnetic clutch assembly for engaging and disengaging a rotatable prime mover with a rotatable load. A first clutch element is attached to the load and mounted for rotation about an axis. A second clutch element forms part of a one-piece torque component with an armature portion remote from the second clutch element, attached to the prime mover, and mounted for axial movement and rotation about the axis. An electromagnetic device is mounted adjacent the armature portion to effect disengagement of the unitary second clutch element relative to the first clutch element.
