ABSTRACT:
A flywheel slip clutch is provided for use with implements such as agricultural balers. The flywheel slip clutch includes a plate mounted on a hub which is fixed to rotate with the input drive shaft of an implement. The plate is connected to the PTO drive line and clutch of a tractor. A flywheel is rotatably mounted on the hub, and a friction disc is interposed between annular surfaces of the plate and the flywheel. During normal operation, the torque from the tractor PTO drive line and the torque generated by the flywheel are delivered to the input shaft of the implement. In the event of an overload condition on the implement input shaft, the tractor PTO clutch disengages and the flywheel spins out disengaging itself from the friction disc which is connected to the plate. This prevents damage to the implement without utilizing a shearbolt between the flywheel and the hub.
