Abstract: In electromagnetic clutches or brakes in which the armature closes against the pole pieces of the coil without leaving an air gap, the faces of the poles or armature, or both, are broken up into smaller areas by annular grooves to reduce the lodgement and retention of contaminating and magnetically inhibiting particles resulting from wear.
