    Abstract: A system includes a permanent magnet generator (PMG) with a generator shaft defining a longitudinal axis. A brake system includes a brake shaft with a first end operatively connected to the generator shaft for selectively rotating with the generator shaft or braking to slow the generator shaft. A shear shaft is operatively connected to a second end of the brake shaft axially opposite the first end along the longitudinal axis. The brake system includes a wedge with a first position radially withdrawn from the brake shaft, and a second position radially pressed against the brake shaft for applying braking forces to the brake shaft and to the generator shaft.

    Abstract: A gear shroud arrangement includes a mounting plate defining an aperture therethrough. A first cylindrical shroud is included having a first end and an opposed second end, wherein the first end of the first shroud is connected to an outer periphery of the mounting plate and is aligned with the aperture. A backing plate is mounted to the second end of the first shroud. A second cylindrical shroud extends from the backing plate in a direction opposite the first shroud.
