Abstract
A clutch assembly includes a first member for mechanically coupling to an output shaft. A first material is frictionally coupled to a first side surface of the first member. A second material is frictionally coupled to a second side surface of the first member. A compliant member is configured to apply an axial force on at least one of the first material and the second material. A radial spring least partially surrounds an exterior surface of the first member.
