Abstract
Abstract A movable disc for a friction type electromagnetic clutch/brake is designed for preventing the production of grating sounds from the movable disc. The movable disc includes a rotary armature being movable in a predetermined direction by the application of electromagnetic force, a friction material stuck onto one side surface of the rotary armature, an elastic member supported on one side surface of the rotary armature to the side opposite to the friction material, a face plate fitted to the rotary armature so as to urge the elastic member to the rotary armature. Perforations are formed in the face plate to reduce its mass and the surface area contacting to the elastic member thereby attaining a rapid start up and good periodic damping characteristic.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
153 words
A movable disc for an electromagnetic clutch/brake, comprising: an armature mounted for rotation about an axis and movement along said axis, said armature having opposite first and second axially spaced surfaces; a friction material attached to said first surface; an annular elastic member supported and held with one side in contact with said second surface and in a position coaxial with said armature; a face plate formed of a material harder than that of said elastic member, said face plate being attached directly to said armature and being in contact with another side of said elastic member for supporting and holding said elastic member in contact with said armature, said face plate having perforations constructed and positioned such that a surface area of said face plate contacting said elastic member is smaller than a surface area of said another side of said elastic member, whereby the mass of said face plate is reduced.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
153 words

Claim 10
Dependent Claim
39 words
A movable disc for an electromagnetic clutch/brake according to claim 1 wherein said face plate is annular and coaxial with said armature and is provided with a plurality of perforations in a symmetrical position with respect to said axis.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
11 words
The movable disc of claim 1 including four of said perforations.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
33 words
The movable disc of claim 1 including means for attaching said face plate directly to said armature, said means comprising a plurality of threaded screws arranged along a locus centered on said axis.
