We used 410 Stainless Steel to make a "disc" that pushed against a High Friction Molded Brake & Clutch Lining Sheet. It works just like a disc brake, except the forces are applied axially about the point of rotation.
As you can see, the disc spins and slides on a 3/8" hex shaft. This allowed us to install the disc brake outside of the gearbox. It was the smallest solution we could come up with.
