Abstract
A traction control system combines engine output power limiting with a single point brake for controlling wheel slip. The brake is preferably connected to the engine to reduce torque requirements and avoid drive line shock. One friction member of the preferred brake is coupled to the engine block, and another friction member member is coupled together with a drive pulley to the engine output shaft. An electromagnetic actuator moves the two friction members into engagement with each other within a hollow interior of the drive pulley.
