Ten ways to ruin an electric clutch or brake http://www.machinedesign.com/print/14733
It has become a cliché: “When all else fails, read the instructions.”
The fact: Clutches and brakes are precision devices with close
tolerances. For troublefree service, they may have special
assembly, installation, or adjustment requirements you must not
overlook. When replacing a unit, even with one that looks the
same, don’t just pull the old unit and slap in the new one. Instead,
“before all else fails, read the instructions!”
Misalign it

If the unit is too small for the torque requirement, it may work for
a while before exceeding thermal capacity. Though the problem
may seem like simple component failure, look further if a clutch or
brake appears to lack thermal capacity. If it can’t dissipate heat
quickly enough, you may need a larger unit. A solution may
require close cooperation among makers of the equipment and of
the brake or clutch, as well as the user.
Burnish badly
