Think smaller. Most of the mechanism has to fit inside the dimensions of an arm or elbow.

I think you're missing that this is EXACTLY my point. I'm really doubting a disc that could fit inside an elbow would be able to stop the torque of a few hundred (900/4) lbs on it. Actually one inside the elbow would have a very minimal surface area on the disc in the first place.
