More Information
Summary:A system includes a permanent magnet generator (PMG) (102) with a generator shaft (104) defining a longitudinal axis (A). A brake system (106) includes a brake shaft with a first end operatively connected to the generator shaft (104) for selectively rotating with the generator shaft or braking to slow the generator shaft. A shear shaft (110) is operatively connected to a second end of the brake shaft axially opposite the first end along the longitudinal axis. The brake system includes a press fit sleeve (118) engaged about the brake shaft (108) and an actuator (116). The actuator is operatively connected to actuate a pawl (128) between a first position spaced apart from the press fit sleeve for normal operation of the PMG, and a second position engaged with the press fit sleeve to apply braking forces to the press fit sleeve and to the generator shaft.
