  • a brake housing adapted to be non-movably secured in an axial direction relative to a driveline master clutch, the brake housing including at least two sources of magnetic flux and a through-hole sized to allow passage of a shaft; and

    an armature secured for rotation with the shaft and positioned axially adjacent the brake housing in a disengaged state, at least a portion of the armature adapted to move axially on the shaft in the presence of magnetic flux to contact the brake housing in an engaged state and inhibit rotation of the armature and the shaft, wherein the armature includes a number of slots positioned to separate lines of magnetic flux generated by a first source of magnetic flux from lines of magnetic flux generated by a second source of magnetic flux.
