Summary:A rotor assembly includes a rotor plate, a friction shoe slidably coupled to the rotor plate and configured to move in a radial direction, and a biasing mechanism operably coupled to the friction shoe and configured to force the friction shoe in a radially inward direction. A predetermined rotation of the rotor plate imparts a centrifugal force on the friction shoe sufficient to overcome the biasing force of the biasing mechanism such that the friction shoe moves in a radially outward direction. Selon l'invention, un ensemble formant rotor comprend une plaque de rotor, un patin de friction accouplé de manière glissante à la plaque de rotor et configuré pour se déplacer dans une direction radiale, et un mécanisme de sollicitation accouplé de manière fonctionnelle au patin de friction et configuré pour déplacer de force le patin de friction dans une direction allant radialement vers l'intérieur. Une rotation prédéterminée de la plaque de rotor communique une force centrifuge au patin de friction suffisante pour surmonter la force de sollicitation du mécanisme de sollicitation de telle sorte que le patin de friction se déplace dans une direction allant radialement vers l'extérieur.
