An electromagnetic clutch assembly comprises an input shaft comprising a longitudinal axis. A rotor assembly is coupled to the input shaft. A solenoid assembly is coupled to transfer electromagnetic flux to the rotor assembly. An armature is coupled to the input shaft. The armature is configured to circulate electromagnetic flux received from the rotor assembly when a coil is energized, and is further configured to move along the longitudinal axis towards the rotor assembly. At least one armature plate is configured to freely float between the armature and the rotor assembly when the coil is not energized and is configured to provide a friction grip between the armature and the rotor assembly when the coil is energized. The at least one armature plate comprises outer alignment slots. A securement retains the armature and at least one armature plate to the input shaft for serviceability.
