Question Electromechanical clutches to save the day?

To: Techpilot

The calculated failure rate for an electromechanical clutch is approximately 1.5 10 6. Since all four clutches must be available to actuate in the event of a failure warranting the disconnect of one servo the ability to reach 1 10-9 for the system becomes even more difficult to achieve. The collective failure rate for the clutches is 166,666 MTBF.
